Looks Like I'm on My way

Post by Bubbathegimp »

Been fixing and upgrading Computers for friends and family since the XT.
Making simple repairs to CB since junior High. Of course nobody is going to hire somebody without "Papers".

Since I became disabled in 07 (but not disabled enough to meet SSDI standards) I have went back to school (ITT CEET).

Start my 3rd semester Monday. Composition 1 will probably sukk. All these classes to get through that have nothing to do with radio or electronics....

18 more months to go

holding a 3.83 so far

GE-127 College math 1 - B
ET-115 DC Electronics - A
IT-220 Network Standards & Protocols - A
GE-187 Problem Solving - A
TB-143 Introduction to personal Computers - A
TB-133 Strategies for the Technical Professional - A

During the upcoming semester I get to "work" with AC. I should really get a charge out of this class.

Time to start trying to put myself together my own low budget work bench
Still Kickin...

Wow, nice work.

18 months is nothing. Look back 18 months into your past; it seems like yesterday and you wonder where the time has gone. It'll be here sooner than you think, just keep plugging away. :cheers:

BTDT - I was your age + 3 when I went back to school full time after 35years in aerospace and defense work. Too many layoffs. Killer financially but it was worth it. Hang in there Bubba. =D> =D> =D>
