I love how some people look down on jobs that dont take much skill or are lower paying jobs. Like maybe a doctor compared to a trash man.....hell if the guy picking up trash loves it and it is able to pay his bills, I'm jealous lol. I don't LOVE my job, but it's a nice environment and I'm taking what I can get right now.

Ya that one is right up there with "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life"...too bad it's not an option anymore. This economy bullshat sucks. What happened to being able to make an honest living with a good job? Our country is going down the tubes...I'm bout to become an anarchist lol

I plan to start a automotive aftermarket retailer, Start small with a local store and the branch into a full catalog with a website. Im going to school for entrepreneurship while minoring into advance automotive fuel systems (Tuning cars has caught my eye also). I do not want to work under someone else for the rest of my life and I get burnt out on jobs that I do not like.

thats the **** man. lemme know if your looking for a partner lol. i wanted to do the same thing or at least work for a speed shop. i have my mechanical backgroud and you got you school, my dads a huge business guy with more knowledge than he knows how to use. he helped me kick off my own business when i was 12. i sold ice and groceries out of my lil 14ft boat to people out in the national park islands on the St. lawerence river. made enough in 4 years to upgrade my boat and motor twice and get my brother started with his own boat. im out this year since i have a real job =( but he bought a 16ft fiberglass boat for this season.
