after working for the past 2.5 years after dropping college i honestly can't wait to go back. working a trade has for sure given me a reason to get a higher education. You need to sweat and bleed for pennies before you appreciate what you can obtain with a good education.

I've been saying it for 14 years now... "I'll go to university next year"
 Maybe I should just stop saying it - cuz I'm pretty sure it'll never happen. Perhaps I've got the opposite view from lorenz0, I like working in the trades - even if I did graduate(? ok broke body parts so I was forced) into the desk job... I hated school with a passion, couldn't wait to be done high school, all these safety and training courses I do are bad enough reminders... I think I'll probably just stop saying "next year" and just smile every time I show an engineer or architect his/her head is up his/her <bleeep> - cuz at least I didn't waste 4+ years to loose my common sense

Don't get me wrong, i love what i do. I hate the crap that comes with it and being the one breaking my back for 1/8th of what i produce. All i have to show for it is a busted back, an old injury getting worse and a horriable income. All the mechanics i have met throughout the years have told me "get out while you still can" and its true. I want to find a part time desk job somewhere while i am upgrading. I also hate the hours that most shops have these days, 12 hour days suck. 2 of those 3 days off are spent trying to regain enough energy just to get through another week. lol also when you have the phrase "F my life" on your tool box, that says alot about how much you enjoy your job.

Hey Lorenz0 - on the bright side - you've probably got the softest hands out of everyone here
 Want to do some transmission work?

 Too funny, my cousin Lindy is married to a nice man who's name is Tony and they live in Toronto (sorry couldn't help myself)I'd be quite happy about school if I didn't have to work full time while taking classes. Unfortunately I can't afford to quit my job and just take classes. I mean if I did that how on earth could I afford all my extra expenses that come with this hobby?  I'm going back to school to become a social worker, unfortunately the sociology course is a prerequisite to the social work program so I have to suck it up and pass this class.
