Congrats...... how many Freshman years did you do....... LOL....

[Lightning]

That's pretty exciting.
It took you 8 years of college, very admirable. I think you have the award of career student, but you are way too dull to be called a student. :D
How many years after high school did you decide that you wanted to go to college?
Just effin with you, congrats!!! Now what are you going to do???

[Kilrtoy]

Good Job, you finished and got that little piece of paper

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

[slink]

8 yrs of college, there better be a DR. in front of your name..........WTF

[Moe_Havi]

No more coeds. Just devorcees. I guess that could be a good thing.
Moe

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

does anyone know what he graduated from?;)

[skeepwerkzaz]

Yeah, it did take me a while...but I didn't go right through. On a couple....work....off a couple etc..
Thanks for all of the kind words.
For those wondering I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, with a B.S. in Professional Aeronautics and a minor in Business Administration. As for work, I am going to try and stay as far away from that as possible. Anyone need a Q.C. guy/pilot/mechanic/beer disposal technician?

[AZmike]

At least you finished, congrads.... I'm going back next semester after being out for like 4 years, its going to suck...

[Dave C]

now that your done, my advice is to go back.
Now you have to get a job so no more debauchery unlike in college.
don't do it man, responsibility sucks!

[FMluvswater]

Okay kinda cliche but ... ConGRADuations! :D :cool: Hope the time investment pays off for you in the long run. :)

[AdrenelineOD]

Cool! Now you can live in poverty with class.:D
( untill things get started)

[mbrown2]

Congrat's.....whether it helps you financially or not time will only tell, but the simple fact that you dedicated yourself to something that was a challenge for 8 years, says you will succeed.....or it means that you are dumb and it took you 4 years to long j/k:D :D
Great job....I went back for the degree when I was 26 and it was tougher than, but meant a lot more at 30 then it would have at 22

[Jordy]

Congrats Clay. We'll be on Saguaro Sunday if you want to do some celebrating.
As far as it making a difference, it's hard to say. I'm sitting here looking at mine right now. It probably helped me get my job just for the fact that I have a degree, however, I haven't really done anything related to my major since I applied to law school right after I graduated. But hey, I have it and it looks good on my desk. :D :D :D

[hd&boatrider]

congrats....after your bender get to work....lol

Congratulations, That is a great school. Now you need to learn a good CAD system like CATIA or Pro/E.
If your serious about getting a real job, scope out www.northropgrumman.com and check out their Careers section. They pay good and have interesting work. I have been with them for 4 years and been in the industry for 20.
Get some experience and then go "Job Shopping" as a contractor and make big $$$. I have made over $150K a year with overtime as a contractor.

[gigamurph]

Good job! So it took you eight years, who's countin'? Answer me this, since you have the paper that says you're one smart mother......SHUT YOUR MOUTH......but I'm talkin' about Shaft......huh? Damn voices! The question I would like you to answer is; "Eight years to get a BullS**t degree? Hell; most of us were born with ours!":p

Funny...sort of seems like work!

[Slick]

Clay, Congrats
For those of you that that aren't familiar with Embry-Riddle, it's one of the most respected aeronautical schools in the nation. Big $$$ to go there. And there's a huge difference in the piece of paper Clay is toting from the one you can sleep through at most state universities. It's kinda like saying you graduated from Harvard Law as opposed to your local community college.

[91nordic29]

cool. i had no idea (you know that clay is SO modest).

[skeepwerkzaz]

Hey slick, thanks for the ego boost! The $$ thing is no sh&^! I am going to be paying off my student loans for YEARS.
Are you going to Saguaro tomorrow? I am debating coming out, but it would constitute a trip to the tire store, when I moved, I blew out two trailer tires! I may just come and bumm a ride on yours!
Clay

[mtndewdrops]

Take it from me, spend your money on Real Estate instead of fixing up that car that could one day become a wrecked heap of steel. Besides, car insurance for that thing is probably expensive if you cover it for the replacement costs. Not to mention all those tires you will have to replace after smokin' em.
Remember, if it has tits ( . ) ( . ) or TIRES , sooner or later there is going to be problems. Sorry ladies,;)
If I had taken that advice, I would have retired by now.

[skeepwerkzaz]

Gettin' paid for it yo! Mtndewdrops, thanks for the advice, but there is money in them thar cars! There are four of us working on it. One of the other guys has a business/accounting degree, I am the mechanical stallion (:D ) we have a professional painter, and a master fabricator. We are doing this right, and we are fairly certain that when we show this car we are going to have plenty of business. We also have plans in the works for some of the most outrageous, functional and baddest street machines anyone has ever laid eyes on. Our next project (a '65 Goat) we are building strictly to sell at Barret Jackson '05.
Think "The Trident Boats" of hotrods!;)
