This has actually been a great thread. Just about everybody that has chimed in has given excellent advice. I am 35 and am trying to get back to school to up my skill set so that I can get a job that is not in the construction field. What vabyrd has just told you is excellent advice that I wish that I would have followed 17 years ago. Now that my back and body are giving out I have no choice but to get an education and now I have got to relearn how to learn lol. Great advice here guys, even if bigtime6656 doesn't follow it I at least got something out of it.
