You will find in college that you will have to give up that "do it later rather than sooner". I had several instructors who found pride in the number of students they flunked.

I also somewhat understand your comment about "not reading" in that I have a 17 year old at home that thinks the same thing. In "real" life, you will get out of it what you put into it.

I had an instructor in college that kinda woke me up after I had flunked his class. He asked me how much I thought I would make when I graduated, and how much a year of college costs. Add those two up and that's what I threw away by having to be there another year.

Hickoryhead - you are an IDEAL candidate to get a degree, if not in engineering, then in a IE masters program. You could equate it to "the icing on the cake" to your career. Right now you are in your prime. Someday, you will be 40 something, and wont be able to keep your eyes open later than 8:00 pm.
