Sup guys
I've been doing some thinking lately that I might want to go back to school. Reading another thread I thought I would ask my fellow under achievers opinion on college.
In high school I never really cared about my grades because I didn't actually ever plan on going to college. I had my mind set on getting the job I currently have and that was a mission accomplished. So now I have a job paying 40+ an hour, but work is unsteady. In the meantime I also have a second cash paying job. Both blue collar sorts.
I actually enjoy what I do, both jobs, most of the time. I don't only not mind the physical labor, I quite enjoy it. Staying active keeps my mind in the right places.
However my mind is still begging for stimulation. I now feel like pursuing a more meaningful career. I only graduated high school in 2015 by the way.
Despite not trying very hard in school I still got straight As my first 2 years of hs including some honors classes. After that my grades slipped bit i could get some recommendations and write a bomb personal essay to cover for that. I also got a 31 on my ACT. With my work experience now, its pretty safe to say I could go most any school I wanted.
The other question would be whether to be a full time student or continue to work also. After the 70+ hour weeks I've worked I firmly believe being a full time student would be a cake walk. However one of my jobs is union, and its possible they may pay for much of if not all the schooling I believe if I were to major in something relevant, like mechanical engineering like I planned.
However, my true passion would be continue to a law school, and one day I dream to open my own practice and be a businessman all humble like.
The thing is, its not even about the money. I'm totally happy with what I do now and what I earn. The fact is my hunger for knowledge is insatiable. My mind wants to prosper, and I want to reach my potential.
Tldr if you don't care to read I don't want your advice
