Any university degree worth a damn will involve a lot of math.  Giving up because you don't feel like learning math is pretty sad though IMO.

Just talking to my wife who works in wholesale parts for electricians, math is where its at. Other wise the best you can get is a supervisor.  An electrical engineer, someone with a lot of math skills, You could be the GM of an electrician company and make the big bucks.

Being a mechanic... fuck that, your body will hate you at 50.

I believe my current motivation issues are the result of taking dabs and suboxone everyday. I stopped yesterday and hit the gym and I'm feelin better. One day at a time with this shit, I miss my old goals and how smart I used to be

If you're just going to waste your days as a poly-drug abuser you should quit and save the money until you grow up a bit.

Do it man Im taking an electrician trades course right now and so far I love it, running wires ridiculously easy, so is the class itself.  Pays decent enough to and dat job security son. Electricians are expected to continue to become more and more in demand for the next 8 years.

another field i don't think has been mentioned yet is programming. Computer coders make crazy fucking money if you learn the right language and can get to where the tech jobs are. Also job security is almost guaranteed.

Alright so within the next week or two I was planning to go sign up for a couple summer classes at my community college really close to where I live but I'm also still on edge because I'm not sure if I want to go into a trade or not. Welding or being electrician seem like good ideas and interesting jobs but I kinda want a job that isn't too serious and requires insane focus. Like being a machinist I hear there's no way in hell you can get drunk or trip the night before and come in and do an exceptional job...as you can tell I would LIKE to have a job like that but I have some more growing up to do still so I might grow out of this phase I've been in.

Basically, I'm fucking confused and needa decide what the fuck I want before I drop more money on it. I think all of these jobs sound interesting but like I said I kinda need keep in the back of my mind how compulsive my behavior is with drugs. I smoke mj everyday and trip on mushrooms or L almost every/every other weekend with some mxe mixed in here and there. I do this as a way to relax and enjoy my life :bigblunt:

what does everyone think? also will i ever grow out of this? I've been obsessed with tripping and bud for like 5 years now. I'm 19 now and currently my major is in engineering science because its been my dream for quite some time but I'm hearing from my friends in a good college majoring in engineering (one that I would be transferring to most likely after two years) that its no fucking cake walk. I know I have the brains but it's more like can i stay clean...i think a trade would be best for me now huh? Get my shit together then go back to college later? idfk..

Go to school and be an electrician. You don't need to make a choice. I'm a full-time electrician and going to school full-time for electronics engineering.

How long does it take to learn welding in a welding program? I have an arc welder but I think I need some instruction because my welds never look good, or even safe.

Do it OP. I work at an electrical supply company and talk with contractors all the time. They get paid great , benefits ,401k etc . Have the job security and freedom cause they can go anywhere with their trade. Also most can still smoke weed. If I wasn't afraid of being electrocuted I would go work in the field as well but I Im just sticking with the sales side at the moment.

I think you should take a year off and get your head straight.  You can't keep tripping and smoking weed constantly and expect to make it very far in life.

Of course engineering isn't a cake walk.  It's one of the hardest degrees you can take but there's a reason for that - there's TONS of job opportunities and you will never have trouble finding work.

Doing a trade for 20-30 years is going to ruin your body.  By the time you're 40 you're body is going to be broken.

Engineering grads start at around $60k and the sky's the limit.  I'm a couple years out of school making a lot more than that.

i drank quite often during my 5 years as a machinist, tripped feom time to time as well, would leave on lunch and fire one up:cool:

made all kinds of shit for Raytheon and other military companies. i was one of their best up an coming machinists. didnt ever have any issues with my outside work habits getting in the way of my performance:shrug:

would still be working there had they not been shut down due to the owners spending habits:sad:  i chose not to get back in to the industry because i learned that the life span of a machinist is much shorter than that of many other trades due to the atomizing of the coolant when it hits the high speed tools and you breathe all that shit in all day for years on end and handling lots of odd materials that are hazardous to my health. i already drink and smoke enough , why add that many more factors to my health:shrug:

I use solidworks for design for injection molding and part design. Self taught though. 6 yrs experience.

you need to be able to visualize and problem solve. A good understanding of geometry and good old hands on experience.
