[QUOTE="CBCollier, post: 2249694, member: 11348"] My story is much like the rest here. Went to college after high school (well OKC Community College, cause I was paying for most of it). That was OK, went to work doing testing on some electronic equipment that I had no idea what it was doing. Got in good with some folks in the company I worked for and moved up into the engineering department as a tech. Just worked hard at everything I was asked and to do and the opportunities came and I took advantage. Now I run a machine shop and restore antique and classic cars for the same guy that I started working for when I was 18; I turn 39 tomorrow. I love what I do, wouldn't change it. Now, my wife went to college and got a 4 year degree. She does make more money than me, but I think she doesn't enjoy her job like I enjoy mine. I know it may be hard to comprehend right now, but money is not everything. Enjoying what you do as a job makes it a hell of a lot easier to get up in the morning. [/QUOTE]
