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.

lol that is an eye opener!! i just lost 50-60 thousand dollars by flunking one class
and ya hickoryhead imagine what you could do with a freakin degree! DAYUM!!! but i guess its just a waste of time for you. hell you are making whatd you say 83k a year? why would you want to waste 4 years going to college when you can just keep doin that 83k.
i think that some people are just brought up well and get lucky (like hickoryhead) im sure you had to work hard to get there but you know you are lucky to be getting paid that without a college degree. you just knew the right people at the right time.
