It would be so cool to actually have a job that I love and am very good at. Saying to hell with my engineering degree seems scary, but man it would be fun.
I will be getting a free CB450 from a friend soon and will "cafe" it....If it generates interest, I may start advertising and see where it leads.  |
You would not be "saying the hell with my engineering degree", you would be using it in a different direction. Motorcycles require proper engineering too in order to work correctly. Watching the "custom" chopper shows illustrates what passes for engineering to the public today. Makes me cry.
Don't be a girlyman, do it. Do it now! (Note: must be shouted with a Arnold accent for full effect)
