Congrats man. It's good to hear about someone getting a legitimate degree and a job. I have multiple friends with history, science, and art degrees that a complaining about not finding a job. Shoot, I know a guy with an bachelor in accounting who can't find a job. Sounds like it going to be a fun career.

I originally wanted to go into psychology. But I started with community college in automotive. Then realized all that was good for was changing oil in a dealership, which I didn't want to work on cars anyways. Just really wanted to work in the industry.

I know for sure about other degrees. I am lucky that we have a number one program and if you want a job you have it. The department I am going to is nothing but siu grads.

good job broski ... dont like the working for ford part BUT



on the other hand your now the most valuable person on the forum .... you will work for ford as a cover for us (the GM LT1 community) as a SPY !!!!!!!!!!

you must report all known issues with the mustang so that we may gain advantages of the puny pony car.

then G-MA will no longer cry and be happy :)
