I remember some people on here asking about me going to college before I got grounded so I thought I would explain.

because I'm smart I'm able to get college paid for while in high school grades. currently I am part time and still attend the actual school to do my extra classes like welding and wood shop gym...

next year starting halfway through 10th grade I will be going to college full time online I will be taking all my college generals because as long as I do them in high school they are paid for by the state. because all my generals will be done by the time I graduate when I go to actual college in person at umd (Duluth) I will only have to take my classes specifically for mechanical engineering my Major. and that will save me time and money.

so I can focus on finding a wife and doing fun stuff like party's and my hobbies.

Nothing like having a plan young man your choices now through mid 20s will greatly inpact the direction of your life. Now stick with it and don't let the parties and women distract or derail it.

Sure sounds like a good plan.Alot of kids your age don't even have a plan.

LOL...You obviously still have a little learning to do, but stick with it.

spend your college time on clubs like SAE , there are some great build clubs that design everything from off road racers to snowmobiles.
and they allow you to used the schools tools like welders

my brother was in a tractor building pulling club

lots you can learn and make sure to be building your resume with those activities as you go so it is ready when you are looking for internships and jobs.

Mech Eng is basically a 6 year program now so you can probably cut a year or two off with your early start. internships are huge do a few. work hard for them and it is very likely they will want you back for a job after graduation.

Good for you.
Any idea what you want to do with the degree?

Green County Pete gave some good advise.
Don't waste your time "having fun".
Get as much as you can out your time there, in the end your trying to make yourself stand out from the rest of the pack to be the guy that everyone wants to hire.

Having fun or Having a wife ......you can only choose one

yes I'm gonna go do an internship with my uncle at federal ammunition in anoka and then hope they hire me

Keep your pants zipped.

LMAO!!!!

ol' dad

im not gonna marry her in college im gonna date for a while first

Remember GOD has the plan. We are just along for the ride!! Enjoy life

Don’t spend your time at parties. Use your time wisely. What you do can’t be changed later.

What's the rush finding a wife? seriously...?

Spend your time getting as much education for free as you can, a mech engineer degree is perfect, especially for nerdy math types, and they're not especially known for being party animals....A girlfriend/wife search will only slow you down and distract you....

Hahahaa Ill have to show this to my 6',, bearded,, hunting,, fishing,,trapping son with a Mechanical Engineering Degree from R.I.T.

There's always some exceptions, lol

My son is also a bearded 6' mech and systems engineer, that used to hunt and fish with me...He's now in Texas and is working for a major defense company making big bucks...but he's an engineer, most of those guys are "different" than the rest of us..I'm sure your son would agree...

It's a Good Plan Preston,

If You go to College in Superior, Wisconsin. The Credits (double) Yo can Double Major in 4 to 5 years.

My Son got His Accounting & MIS/ BIS Computer Programming main frame in 5 years.

Congratulations to your son that's an accomplishment I bet he was not partying and chasing girls much at the time and stayed goal driven and now has not only a good career and money but his pick of girls.

WOW how times have changed. It is great that you can do that. A lot of us had to work all through college and that took time away from school. You will do fine and have a good time doing it.....jk

Actually, my memory was a little faulty

Two Of my 4 kids Derek and Becca- Had their 2 year AA College degrees before their High School class Graduated...They Did their Generals attending College their Jr. and Senior year in Cambridge, MN. Then they got their HS diploma two weeks later.
Going on to Attend University of Wisc. Superior for 3 yrs Double majoring .
