in 5 weeks ill be graduating UTI with their training and 11 ford crudentials (it normally takes a ford tech 5-10 years to receive the crudentials and training i've received here, so I could go work for Ford)however January 8th i will begin my training in Orlando in the Mercedes-Benz Elite program...and when I get done they will set me up with interviews at a few dealers close to home, or wherever I choose I want to live. I really cannot wait to be out working full-time with Mercedes.

I personally cannot justify going through with a 4 year degree unless you've got your mind set on something specific. I encounter many people on a daily basis who have a bachelor's degree in one field or another, but are working in something totally different making less money than they deserve. Granted, a lot of people turn out to be successful with their degree and it is definitely a solid foundation for making money, but if you don't find the right job, it could turn out not to your liking. I say do what makes you happy, that way regardless of what you make you can look forward to going to work each day.
