As I read this now, I'm relaxing after a long day at work. I stink and look absolutely filthy. This has been a good day. I wish I had been introduced to the autobody field when I was younger but in the yuppie towns I grew up in it was expected that you went to college. When I told my HS guidence councelor that I was not heading straight to Harvard or MIT or such like my classmates they were done with me. With no real direction or skill, I went into retail then a few classes to get what ever job I thought I wanted next. It has taken me 40 years to figure out that I'm happiest working with my hands. While I have a lot to learn still, I'm having a good time doing it. My plumber drives a Ferrari, my computer guy a 914. Most people that I know who went to school drive a ToyoHondMazdai applience with ok houses and frustrating careers.
