Been in school for 12 years of my life, I have 2 1/2 years to go until I'm free. And I been done with it for the last 2 years.

Not to mention, I ain't getting paid for this!!!

Houses are expensive. Should have started saving when I was in 1st grade dang it

I don’t miss school I do miss college though

 

[DavidB1126]

Don't wanna do college. I ain't doing another 2 or 4 years of something I don't like to do and I'll probably go in debt anyways by doing so.

Unless I truly wanna do a high grade profession, then college is needed

.....until I'm free.

Oh, you think so, huh?

Wait until you start getting bills.

 

[paytonimusrex]

I had my dads gi bill to use which saved me a lot, I truly enjoyed college it was stressful but I had some of the most fun I have ever had for 4 years but helps I went to a big university

I have narrowed down my choices but aren't so sure.

Either apprenticeship and getting started in automotive (liked what we talked about @CertifiedMike )

Or doing to a automotive tech / trade school.

 

[paytonimusrex]

those are great options to trades are needed and you can make a ton of money doing it too

 

[DavidB1126]

Starting auto tech salary is 33k a year. Y'all think if I make that much when I start, is it better than anyone else my age?

Meh. Average is 34k for people after HS

it’s not great but if you got at a dealership you’d prob make more tbh

 

[DavidB1126]

Oh wait. Never mind. Entry level auto tech positions in MD start at 53k a year

 

[paytonimusrex]

when I washed cars for a summer at mclaren philly I knew a few people doing auto school and one is now a mobile tech at ford and he recently just got a mustang gt so make what you will of that

 

[DavidB1126]

Between 20 and 30 an hour. Not that bad

Since I'm taking a apprenticeship class, technically I can get paid while training and learning so that imho is better than going to auto school, unless you want to get more knowledge on a specific thing

Don't you just love it when a seller says "will ship asap" and it takes them a reminder and 5 days to ship it.

HVAC techs make well. My trade school offers HVAC training, diagnostic, & building techniques for ducts. Skilled trade. Not everyone can bend & make those ducts. Good money in it. Not very dirty either

College isn't for everybody, and it's too ridiculously costly nowadays to go because "everyone" says you should.
You love cars, so auto tech is what I see you doing and having the best shot at being happy with. This field is changing rapidly due to all the constantly changing technology. Pretty soon, it'll be the equivalent of an engineering degree. Also, you never know where your occupation will lead you. I know lots of people who today, have occupations that has nothing to do with what they went to school for, and are doing extremely well, financially.

The bill thing was not really a joke. You're going to have lots of 'em!

 

[DavidB1126]

I already pay bills. It's called my monthly AMain order

I ain't helping to pay cable that's for sure. It's around 230 or around 300 a month I think. We have Xfinity

And mom don't wanna get rid of it sooo.

I got rid of Xfinity a couple of years ago, saved about $100/mo, and couldn't be happier with its replacements.
I went to T-Mobile home internet ($55/mo) and Hulu with live local tv(about $65). On top of all the savings, I'm getting more features that I would have had to pay extra for with Xfinity/Comcast. With all the extra that I'm getting now, it would have cost me probably an additional $100/mo with X/C!
