All i can say is the past 5 years i have spent on my mechanical engineering degree has paid off. it was fucking hard, it was the harder option, but i knew if i put in the hard work now, i can enjoy a better future.

1 year left now and i can tell you the time almost flew by (seems like it anyways).

if engineering is not your game, have you thought about drafting? there shit loads of drafties on here (including myself). Good money and doesnt take too long to learn, maybe a year or 2 at tafe depending on wether your part time or full time.
