Mechanical engineering is cool.

A quick search showed lots of mechanical engineering jobs available.

Yes, I'm very excited to finish.  I graduated high school 10 years ago and this is the third college I've been to.  I'm a bit of a procrastinator.   :laugh:

Holy shit.   I am in the same boat as you.   I graduated in 97 and I am on my 3rd university ROFL.   Well at least I will be well rounded haha.
:P   Internets are super serious.

Hell, it took me 15 years to get around to finishing my
first bachelor's. 'Course, being compared to me ain't too
hot, I guess.

Yeah, I'll just be happy to finish.  The first time around I was more interested in drinking beer than waking up for class.  Second time around the residency laws screwed me so that I would have to pay out of state tuition ($30,000/year), even though I'd been living in the state for two years at that point.  Bastards.

Oh yeah, Make is on my google home page.  :)  Right next to instructables.  Although I don't get the magazine.  They have it at my local bookstore and I look through it when we go there.

hey, handsome.

just finished reading "sea change" by peter nichols (sp?).  it's about a solo transatlantic voyage on a teeny sailing boat.  thought you might like it - it's fab.

Excellent.  :)  I'll put it in the reading list.

I've been thinking of getting my United States Coast Guard classification as "Ordinary Seaman".  It's just a bit of paperwork, and then I can whisk off and work on any US flagged ship I choose, well almost any.

Beautiful isn't she?  That's the barque Picton Castle.  When I graduated high school I begged my parents to let me sail on her on her maiden voyage.  An around the world trip, stopping in places like the Cook Islands etc...  The problem was that it was 50 large to sail as a trainee the whole way.  Way too expensive.

I think this is one of my favorite boats...  a gaff rigged topsail schooner.  Gorgeous with her raked masts, loads of canvas, and enormous bowsprit.

:drool:

i'm a bit of a sea-lover, too - my dad was in the royal navy during WWII, and he had some tales to tell (although, obviously, not on a sailing ship: he was in the fleet air arm).

i do love a well formed bowsprit, though.   :eyelash:
