But if you got a roof over your head,food and your happy...then your way better than being rich and hate what you do. :cheers

If you have the chance to go to collage also do both.It would not hurt to take some buss. managment classes and math.they will do you good and help you in your carear.blue print reading etc.It will make you more valuable. :rock_on

As far as math, I cant understand algerbra and dont see the point of it honestly...I have been taking buissness classes such as macro economics and those just come natural to me.

Dude you sound just like me when I was a kid. I didn't understand math because I didn't want to. I bid on jobs now some well over 100,000.00. I have to know math,I taught myself to read blue prints and do take offs on jobs. You have to know math to be a good drywall hanger,and you need to know math to be a good welder also.BTW I never said I love what I do for a living,just do my best at it. My back is about to give out on me. I learned everything the hard way.

i passed on college. went into the Navy right out of high school. granted i learned a skill, worked as a Boiler Tech. repair and operate. the responsibility you learn in the service can be alot. i was 18 working on multi million dollar equipt. and it had to be done right. tried doing the college thing when i got out, but didn't really work out. granted i have a good job now, that i enjoy. but i have worked alot of crap jobs before finding this one.

As far as math,I understand and I am good at math as long as its not algebra... quadratic forumlas and logiritums like im doing now are pointless...
I know I could still be myself If I went to college,but I dont see anything in college that intrests me.
I want a hard working job and not a desk job.
I have thought about automotive,military and now im going to tour my tech school tomorrow for welding.
After tomorrow, my mind should be made up :cowboy.
