Have you ever thought about a trade school? Union electricians make 6 figures after their apprenticeship.

Also, gov grants are easy for the trades.

Well, I'm mechanically minded and I like physically working with my hands. But to be honest, at this point in my life, I'd rather own the company, which I do now, lol. But to be a good manager, you need to learn and know your craft.

But anyway, the trades that seem to be putting people in the 6 figure jobs are commercial electrical, commercial plumbing, heavy equipment operator and the specialty fields that you are specifically trained in one highly sensitive area of plumbing or electrical. Like an example would be a methane gas engineer. I say this one because I know someone that just got all of his school and licensing completed a little over a year ago. All he does is design and supervise the construction for venting methane gas when buildings are going to be built. The gas has to be vented out of the ground and ran through some environmental process before being released in to the air.

nice. yeah see thats more of the angle i'm trying to get to, something a little more focal. and that does see like a faster route to do things as well. however the route of engineer includes ALOT of math, and that is the biggest weakness i have overall. Been working on it, but tough to get a grasp when all i was worried in high school was chicks football and fast cars. Did well with an advanced diploma, but minded no attention to math class. so trying to get up to speed there.. thanks for that info though, very useful. i appricate it.
