Have you went to college/what is your major?

I'm right now reading about a community college since I'm a senior at my high school and it just hit me to ask you guys what you may be doing later in life. I'm going to try to get my A.A.S. in Mechanical Design Technology. My whole goal is to become a certified Architect. Big money making business.

So who here is going to go to college, is in college, or is done with college and what are your plans?

I graduated from PICA, or Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, with a Ass. degree in Technical Sciences. My goal is to work my way to executive chef and perhaps some day far in the future own a few of my own places.

Hey thats what i wanna do. I hear takin class for Architect is hard as hell! I'm still gonna give it a shot though. I never did too bad in drafting...so..?
I'm gonna be attending Scottsdale community college for 3 years and then transfer to Arizona State University to finish the remaining 2 years. Its 5 five yrs. to get your masters.

Man i love cooking! I just never thought about doin it as a career.

My father was a licensed arcitech, but he never did anything with it, insted he opened a restarant, then it grew to like 6 restarants, then he didnt pay taxes and got it all taken away along with his house. Started at the bottom again and had another susessfull restarant, but it was never the same again. Moral of the day... either use your license as an arcitech or pay your taxes.

What da know....... Your the first person I've heard of that wants to do the same thing. Yeah your right though, It's a hard subject to tackle. Math is the major role in it.

:lol: I'm actually in my last year of drafting at a local technical school. The nice thing is that my credits that I earned from my technical school (massanutten technical center) is transferred to Blue Ridge Community college. Thus, less classes to take.

When are you going to attend Scottsdale? And up here it's 6 yrs to get my masters.

speaking of culinary arts and stuff about cooking......my friend's bro who's only 22 has been a chef for a few restaurants in our area and he makes so much money, its crazy.

oh yea, and shaguar, i'm a senior in my high school too. i'm probably going to go into computer engineering. its everything about computers about software (programming, design) and hardware (production of microchips, repair). its pretty sweet and is totally useful in this world. like if one field of computers goes down, i'll be positive that i could find a really high paying job with the other field. i'll probably minor in webpage design, too. www.vladlos.com - my site right now...soon a brand new better site will be up, maybe within a month.

im in my 2nd yr in berkeley college taking management

Yeah you can make some decent money in the culinary business... but damn can it be hard and stressfull.. you are the busiest when every one else is off... and damn is it hard to maintain relationships too... something about working 12-16 hour days all of the time... there is something like a 80 percent divorce rate among chefs haha.

The other part of it is that most of the time the only thing to do after you get off of work is to go out to the bars, since they are the only thing still open and that results in a lot of drunks heh.

All in all I do enjoy what i do though, most of the time.

I'm a senior in High School too and don't know what the fuck im majoring in. I am really good at math though, that is the one thing that comes easy to me.

When are you going to attend Scottsdale?


Hopefully this January. I'm 23yrs old and i need to get back to school! I hate math! I'm not too good at it.

well i passed my GCSE exams at 16 left school and went to college for 2 years whilt working 35 hours a week. i just done a Business Admin Course , NEVER again......wankers

...how is an associates in mechanical design going to help you become an arcthitect?

...getting your degree in architecture is a bitch.. its a hell of alot of work... depending on the school you go to, its not necessarily math intensive..

and if your'e becoming an architect to because you think they make alot of money...dont... b/c they dont at all..trust me.

I think it depends who you work for.

that's a little bit of it.. but your'e not going to be pulling too much money in for at least 10 years of your career..I mean, the money's not horrible.. but when you look back at how hard you worked for 5-6 years of school (which is the minimum for a bachelors of architecture)..the money sucks ;) especially when your IT friends did shit in school and are pullin in $$ right outta school ;)

yeah thats the same deal I get to go through... except I don't neccessarly have to spend 5 years in school... I have to spend all of my time in differnt kitchens learning every thing I can...

..and I'm not trying to discourage anyone at all..I think that's awesome..just sayin that if money is your key motivation.. forget it ;)

I do paint/body work, yall all probably will end up making more than I do. Wanting to start my own body kit business though. No formal education here, for now.

Well considering the poor grammar used in the topic sentence, maybe you should go to college lol just kidding.

I go to Saddleback Junior College and I am a political science and music major, college is fun. I recommend it

Well considering the poor grammer used in the topic sentence...

heh, thats just the texas coming out.

Well, I originally started out in a Bible College as a music major... But I realized that wasn't what I needed to be doing. So, now I'm going to a "Women's College" (Mississippi University for Women Accepting Men since 1882), getting my pre-engineering out of the way so I can transfer to Mississippi State to finish out with Computer Engineering. If anyone is really into math, I reccommend going into the Engineering field. Most engineers start out making pretty descent money, with alot of opportunity to advance. Anyways, if you go to a community college, make sure your credits will transfer if you decide to switch colleges. I learned the hard way. One year of Bible College, and 3 credits transfered over................... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :screwy:

..and I'm not trying to discourage anyone at all..I think that's awesome..just sayin that if money is your key motivation.. forget it ;)

I do want to make a good amount of money in the field, but I'm not going to be filthy rich. I know that for a fact. Actually, I'm thinking of maybe just getting my degree and then be coming a designer. It's between a drafter but before an Architect.

And yeah, it will depend on who hires me on what I make. The better you do in the field, the more likely you suceed better. In truth though, I might switch to automotive design (due to my passion of making cars look good) after the 2 years of community college and maybe design sketches for HONDA. It's just you never know till it comes.

2 years at a community college for an associates degree in automotive tech, now 10 years later im makin 45k a year as an honda tech...

Darn, is all that true? Your making a good living!

I've been outta highschool since '01 and need to get my ass in gear. I got caught up with cars and working. I really want to go into the Digital Multimedia field-doing anything in the movie making industry would be awesome. Top of the line technology-that's where I want to be. I love making/editing video, DVD authoring, sound production/graphics all of it. I really don't wanna do just one thing. I would like to be able to do a lot of those things. So I was looking into Digital Multimedia because most of those aspects come together in one job description. Hope to go to UCF or ITT by the beginning of next year. I wanted to get my car pimped and outta the way before I go to college, but I might do my prereq's here at my easy community college.

ITT is a good choice. From what I've heard, the multimedia field is an awesome field to be in cause of the rapidly changing technology. And just wait out till after you go to ITT, then you'll get a career that pays really good and you'll be able to trick out your already good crx.

Hell yea, you know, if I keep my car through school (which I really plan to do) I don't picture my selling my Crx when I get a good job. I would keep it for a full blow project car or something, it's been with me the longest, I think I would cry if I had to sell it.

Im 16 and a junior in high school, but doing running start so im in the Automotive Tech program at Green River Community College. and in two years ill come out with an applied sciences two year degree, my diploma, and ASE certification as a Automotive Technician. And its all free so its pretty tite
