[QUOTE="BIG_MIKE2005, post: 2248366, member: 3309"] Well I dropped out my junior year due to things going on at home & what not. Started working full time in fabrication shops as soon as I turned 18yrs old. Moved in with my grandmother shortly after since my mom lost our house & went on the road with my step dad who was a truck driver. Got a little side tracked doing drugs for a while but once my head cleared thankx to a good friend of mine I was back working in shops. Got laid off from those due to cutbacks & ended up in retail at Target & decided I wanted to pursue drafting since I had a natural gravitation to it. Met my wife while in school at Platt for Drafting/Design. Ended up dropping out during the major b/c she got prego & I needed to work alot more hours at work to provide for her & the baby. After the baby got here I was back in a shop working at Redman piping when I got a call asking me to interview for a drafting position. Got the drafting job & have been here 9yrs this year. It wasn't the easiest road & I battled my own mistakes & life. But in the end I'm happy now, have a good job with great benefits & a happy family. I wouldn't change a thing cause it all made me who I am today. [/QUOTE]
