Ok, so ive been at my school for around 7 or 8 weeks nows(give or take). Im going to centenial college, supposidly the best automotive school in Ontario. For the 6 or 7 weeks ive been at school, ive been bored off my ass. The main reason im there is to learn about paint and get out of there 2 go into the trade as a painter. But heres the kicker, about 3 weeks into the course, my original paint teacher had a heartattack(hez fine thank god), but the guy whos replacing him, is covering the same crap as my old one did and doesnt know a thing about teaching. So im bored as hell, and frankly feel like my money is being wasted. So im kinda at a point now where i gotta figure out what im gonna do. My next semester starts like, next week or so, and it goes untill around x-mas time. So im kinda at a standstill..i kinda wanna just drop out and head right into working. Like finding a job for me shouldnt be to hard, ive done 4 years of highschool shop thats pretty much as indepth as the stuff they do over at centenial college for general mechanical, and ive worked for a year at a tuner shop near by and have spent countless hours working on friends cars. Hell when i was 17 i rebuilt a B18, turboed it and swaped it into an EK civic. I built a 12 second K20A2 powered all motor EG civic drag car. But at the same time im thinking that if things pickup next semester, then ill stick around. But i dunno. What do you guys think??

heres the thing though..my lowest mark in highschool for auto was 94%, my lowest mark at college for all my courses is a 84% for math(witch i was exemted from), my second lowest is 93%. The course im in doesnt give u any credentials except for saying u graduated from centenial college with basic skills, if i graduate and go into the trade, ill be making the same amount of $ as if i just went into it from highschool. Like im paying $3500 to drive 40 min to n from school every day to chill with some friends and learn crap i learned in grade 10. They designed the course for people who have no background what so ever, like the retards who come in pickin their nose, scratching their ass wearing a shirt with a souped up civic on it and saying "I like cars, honda's are the best thing ever". like yea its challanging for some kids in my class(ie retards who worship civics), but for any one who has had any experience, its completely assinine. Like a friend of mine offered me a job about a week b4 school started workin at his shop gettin paid $16.75 to work on MK4 supra's all day long. I said no cuz i was excited about goin 2 college and meetin people and learning new stuff and every thing. Right now i feel like kickin my self in the head. My best friend went into a dealership about a month after we graduated highschool, hez been workin there since, hez making around $15.50 an hour, working 40 hours a week, gets weekends off.
