I was a janitor through highschool and made great money and invested, and I've been living/studying/maintaining and modifying my car with the money since. Hahahah and now it's all gone and I'm getting a job on campus so I can study at work at my receptionist job. I'm a third year EE student who hopes to develop his wonderful automotive invention that you can't ask about yet

Currently in my junior year at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, studying mechanical engineering. If all goes well, I'm planning on applying to Red Bull Racing's engineering internship program, because my ultimate dream is to work in F1. Backup plan is to work at the engineering research center I'm interning at this summer.

APUSH, the only class where I was happy to score a 4/5. To be honest, I felt learning to deal with the rigors of the class (two multi-page papers due each week, massively weighted tests, etc) was more useful than the material covered (although the class did render the senior gov class nearly useless).

My word of advice (from my best friend who is in law school and now articling) is this:

If you want to become a lawyer, because that's what you want to do with your life, go for it.

If you go to law school because you don't know what else to do with your life, well....that's a pretty expensive way to waste your time.
