For all of you who haven't heard, my last day at Renegade Hybrids was on friday. I have decided to go back to school to study mechanical engineering at UW in Laramie.
So I guess my question is, any body live in Wyoming or northern Colorado? wanna go tip some cows? or
?
Best of luck and good choice on the schooling!!!! I was a mechanic and worked on race cars thru my 20s, finally went back and finished the BSME just before turning 30 and took a job in aerospace. No more lower back pain (yes, had it in my 20s from bending over fenders all damn day - no jokes about how I got my raises now!!) and a better salary.
I just "phone" interviewed with a company in Louisville, CO (just north of Denver) and they intend to fly me out for an official interview next month. I mentioned my auto background and the hiring mgr commented "if you worked on cars, then you just went to the top of my list"! He was a professional welder as a young guy, so I said we are gonna be good friends as I need a friend that can weld on my tube chassis car
If all goes well, I may be a Colorado resident first of the year and maybe we will cross paths as I am an avid road-racer and will have a beast of a car back together by then.
Trust me, the typical ME is "stupid from the elbows down" and you are making a wise decision and your background should be a great asset. Just show them your car with the spoiler!
