Morning everyone!!
Glad you all liked the park bench build... Reading through the responses, I noticed a few people said that my "community service" actually ISNT a graduation requirement.
Now, Ive done some internet surfing, and I see NOTHING about doing community service to graduate here!! SUM BEEITCH!! Those @$$HATS LIED to us!! They told us "Its a state requirement, do it or else" WTF? My school said we had to. I don't frickin' believe it. I'm pretty mad about all this, but realistically, what can I do? Man, this sucks. If the seminary approached me and asked me to build them some stuff, I would have done it for them, but thats different than thinking I HAD to for my dang school. Dayum.
Well that was thirty-something hours of my life I'll never get back.
Oh well. As steamed as I am right now, I wanna just let it do. I wasn't one of those kids who enjoyed school overall, and I just wanna put this and everything else behind me and move on with life. Still makes me wanna punch a wall tho.
Anyway...
As you may have guessed, I wanna be a weldor when I grow up and I'm looking to further my education some more.
Someday, I want to run my own shop/have my own business, and so I'm looking to get on the path that will lead me there. Pipe welding doesn't interest me that much, but general fabrication and pretty much everything else, does.
Both of my parents hold multiple degrees for various things, and really want me to get into school somewhere. I really don't like school, but since it seems to be the best way to get onto the fast track to running a business of my own, I'm more than interested.
I'm currently in Southern Ohio, and truth be told, I'm looking to re-locate. I REALLY want to go somewhere warmer, I've spent my whole life living in New York, Michigan, and Ohio, and while theres nothing wrong with the cold/winter, its not for me, and I need a warmer climate. I really like Texas, I've got family and a few friends in Austin, and would like to eventually end up in the Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio area, although I'm open to anything for the time being...
Even though its not a college, I've given serious thought to the Lincoln Electric school in Cleveland. How would a school like that compare to a two year college?
Anyone have any input or advice? What colleges have the best welding programs? As always, sorry about the rant, and thanks in advance, I appreciate it...
