This thread was inspired by the "what do you do for a living" poll. It seemed like a lot of owners had professional (degree) jobs, so I figured this would be the best way to find out. I'm a firm believer in education, but I don't think college is for everyone, in fact its a straight waste of time and money for most (but that's a whole 'nother conversation on how the education system is nothing more than big business these days).

Anyway, what level did you study to?

Poll is for Evo owners only, thanks.

 

9th grade, then went and got a degree for plumbing and heating, took 2 years, 11 years later, truck driver making 60k a year...

 

I graduated high school and currently work full time and am working on a Bachelor's degree.

 

engineering major

 

work 48 hours a week, and go to school full time, currently have a associates, working towards bachelors..I take about 15 credits a semester

something to keep me busy

 

Graduated High school, currently working full time. Driving my car full time

 

dang, great to have such quick response. i've also immediately noticed that it seems most evo owners aren't living of mom and dad, but rather are just hard workers. very cool.

 

What about Technical school or Tech. school/Military?
<- Joined USAF and went to Fire School... Eran some college credits.

 

Civil engineering senior student

Real Estate (Part time)

 

Senior working on a finance degree + employeed in oil company. Parents cut the cord after high school though. I agree with you and think college is too long, but it also gives you time to truely set into your specialization. College should be a mix of work experience and study, fortunately I luck out. I changed my major and I couldn't be happier, it just feels right now.

 

In college right now, when I finish I plan on going here

 

im currently working on my asscociates degree in architecture and after that for my bachelors degree.

 

going to be a senior in september lol

 

Bacherlor's of Science Degree in Information Technology just graduated in May. Sitting here wondering how the hell I am going to make student loan payments and keep the EVO. I started my career one week after graduation although it still isn't enough...always need more!

 

Just finished my 4th year of school, I'll graduate next year with BS in physics with a minor in math. Then I get to work a year and then its off to med school (well, I hope).

As for the people that think college is too long: I'm kind of surprised. There is a lot of work, but there are also parties and hot girls everywhere. I have a friend that went to college for 1 year, then dropped out to work full time. But you know what, his work doesn't have keggers, and there aren't too many hot girls in short shorts strutting around. Maybe my school is just special, but I doubt it since I'm in Utah.
