Go to school. Check around for scholarships-they are everywhere especially if your grades are good. Let me tell you about apprenticeships. I work for a fortune 500 company. the largest of its kind in the world. In 2000-02 they decided to outsource all the tradesmen. Two crane riggers had two months remaining to get their journeyman cards. the union begged them to just let them finish then outsource them. NOPE! So company'e are free to do whatever they want. I'm in Michigan and we've been having a one state recession for ten years but having that engineering degree gives you a degrre of flexibility. Where I work if you want ANY kind of salaried position with a hint of advancement you must have or be working on a 4yr degree. Now, granted, there are a lot of bosses there who have trouble shutting the water faucet off every day. they still make way more than me. Myself, i got a 2 yr trade degree, then worked 2 yrs, then went back and got a weird BS degree in MGMT. But I ended up being a mechanic. 20+ yrs. One of the last good paying hourly jobs left in the state. But, whenever some d!ckhead waves his magic wand we're gone and I have no where to go in the plant because I don't have an Eng degree. 15$ hour is only ~30k/yr not good enough. My knees are starting to go from squatting and kneeling so a salaried job looks pretty good now. Pays better with better pension too.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
