You have to finish school. I went like you did-1 or 2 classes at a time at night and working during the day. I really ran out of gas at the end and almost didn't finish. The degree is worth it, companies will consider you because you have one, even if you can't do the work. What I am saying is that you got into electronics because you liked it, the education process has burned you out. Finish school and find a job that uses your knowledge of the field, but relates to what you like.

Get a job installing and repairing the lighting/sound systems in strip clubs.

M,M,M, MAMA SAID, I COULD'NT WORK IN NO STRIP CLUB. THAT'S THE DEVIL'S WORK.

 

Think real hard about the two things you like to most. Make #1 your hobby, and #2 your job. You'll be happy for the rest of your life.
Things like hangin at the beach and drinking beer could even work if you approach them right.
Think about it!

 

hmmmmmmm I would have to say, get a sales job, anything but selling cars, most pay very very well............

 

My neighbor is the only independant machine shop owner left in my town. All the rest have retired. He drives a Jag and has the only riding lawnmower in the neighborhood where the yards are small enough that it takes about 25 minutes to mow with a 21" push mower.

Here's one that's off the wall. Become a glassblower for a university. When I was in college the glassblower made more than half the professors.

A friend of mine is a database expert and works for Stanford University. He has a 6 figure income and bought a $750k home on the coast a couple of years ago.

How about becoming a dock worker. I'm amazed that the west coast dock workers have 6 figure incomes with some making close to $200k a year.

 

Whatever you decide to do, do it because you love it; because it gives you pleasure and because it satisfies you and fulfills you in some way. To many of us don't realize this til it's too late. If it pays good money, so much the better.

A degree is also important. You don't need to be a genius to get one, but it is one way of telling the world that you can jump thru the hoops that others put in front of you; that you have enough moxie to stick with something long-term; that you have your **** together in certain ways. I would never exchange my degrees for anything, even though I don't have a job in my degree area.

 

I've decided to stick with it. Electronics seems hard at first, until you get used to it. But the more I do and study, the easier it becomes. I'm doing ok so far in my studies. And I have made A's & B's on my tests. And "I do like it!" Hell, I love it! I might even make a hobby out of it too. It sorta makes me feel sophisticated to be in school and doing something with my life. Thanks for the encouragement and support. Thanks...Joe.
