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??

see the thing is, im only at school for paint as backup kinda thing. I wanna go into general mechanics, and have body work/paint as a backup. Here in Canada, if you drop out, its not as big a deal as in the states. If its college or university its not 2 bad, but highschool every one thinks ur a failure. Here, if u have a background duing any thing trade wise, ur set. My neighbour graduated highschool and had a year of co-op at a plumbing place, hez now workin on his apprenticeship, got hired 4 days after we graduated. Jobs arent hard to find, if you have an indepth background and u drop out cuz ur bored/know what ur learnin, then u'll b fine to just go right into a job
