mikemodeler Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Benjamin, Congrats on the early graduation. I did the same thing and started college a semester earlier than most of my friends. Good luck at the job with your Dad, just watch out for some guy named Homer who likes donuts.. Mike
jbwelda Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 congratulations! think about engineering for a career...i dont know you but if youre good at models you may well have a promising career with good $$$ and security/flexibility. seriously!
seeker589 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Outstanding! Congratulations! Especially for getting it done early! I would like to add one thing - You never stop learning in life - EVER! So learn with purpose and set a goal. Be it trade schools, college or even just personal skills. Maybe the power plant has tuition assistance or reimbursement. A very valuable benefit. If I had used my employers tuition assistance from day one - I'd have a Bachelors by now. The more education you have the more choices you have as your life moves on down the highway. One more thing - never limit yourself. Don't let those around you limit you either. Congratulations, again!
charlie8575 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Good work, Ben. Whether formally or informally, acquire as much knowledge as you can and apply it where possible. The world of education to an adult is far more open and flexible, and you can learn a lot more from things outside a classroom, especially for vocational purposes. Speaking as someone with a college degree, and about 60% of an M.Ed., college has started to become overrated. I encourage what is called informal learning and experiential learning (learning from just going through life.) I've found those lessons, while not always more lucrative, were more fulfilling and far more interesting. Check this out for a little more on that topic. http://www.infed.org/index.htm The writings there can get a little egg-headed, but it's still some interesting reading. And something a lot of people can take good things from. Whatever your future and your decisions, I wish you nothing less than as much happiness and success as you're capable of achieving.
