Ya, Scotts a nice guy.

Me: I got into electronics in highschool and joined the Coast Guard after graduation to gain my independance. I wanted to be an avionics tech/flight mech. It took me a year and a half to get to the school for that and in the mean time I was a seaman on a 378 foot cutter that frequented the Alaskan gulf and the Bering sea. After going to my trade school, or "A" school as we call it, in North Carolina for 6 months, I was stationed at our base at the San Francisco International Air Port. I stayed there for 4 and a half years and loved every minute of it. I got to fly in the crappiest weather and save people from some crazy situations. I am one of the few gaurdsmen that to go on a full tour of the Persian Gulf. I also got to see some of South America, including the Galapogose Islands for one search and rescue case, and to work in drug interdiction. I always recommend the guard to people. I saw what my supervisors got to do and got paid and deciede that I liked where I was at that time and that a future behind a desk was not for me. I started college in Fall 2001 and will be finishing my BA in psychology this Dec. I would also recommend a psych degree to anyone who likes to think and poeple watch. I am applying for med school right now and hope that I am making the right choice. I will echo what others have said as I agree fully that you should not stay with a job just because you have put time into it. Its like a bad relationship, you just have to dump her and move on. I'll likely become a surgeon, but I could be a mechanic, blimp pilot, rodeo clown or what ever. I wont settle for being unhappy and neither should you (IMHO). Hell, I could be a carrer counselor as much as I like helping people find themselves and their occupation.

Hope I didn't sound preachy.
