u get a scholarship u still need money. Theres no way around it, u need money to eat, for clothes and whatever else. If you were thinking about the military before give it another look, at least there once your in you dont pay for nothing and when u get out you get money towards school.

Im going through a real rough time myself aswell as my real close friend. Hes thinking about shipping off and i might just go with him.

Let's just say being a mechanic and owning/inheriting my step dad's shop has kind of been forced upon me, don't want to lose that successful family run business ya know. I've been thinking about going to community college for some education then hitting the autoshops. Community college 15 minutes from my house, $6,100 tuition vs $20-30,000 at a private college.

But we'll see. I've always wanted to go to....Europe.

NO. I choose to live in a small house. Rather intelligent imho. I don't need your 500k mansion. I do not want to keep up with the Joneses. When I work i average about 100k a year.

Millwright, HD Mechanic, Welders, Instrument Mechanic, Electrician, they all about the same as far as wage, goes. Carpenters, Plumbers, Roofers, are a little less. But with the housing market in such high demand, they are catching up FAST. ALTA is realy booming right now prolly gonna last till 2020, or so.

welding yea, plumbin cool, but anything that has to do with construction(at least here) is tooken by illegal maxicans, i saw them today doin road work by a school , that guy could barely hold that jack hammer. I hope its different in ur corner of the country(please lets not make this political).

Hell the gvmt. is talkin about fast tracking immigrants from china & such with skilled trades. Personaly I would rather have people who speak English. They are easier to communicate with.
