I'm 26 now. After High school, I joined the army. Spent 5 yrs in. Now I'm using the Army College Fund to pay for school and I am 1 yr away from a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice/Pre-Law. After that I plan on going to law school for another 2.5 - 3 yrs.

Right now I'm a senior, And I am planning on going to college. Right now I attend a technical/vocational highschool. I am in a welding program, and i have a co-op or "internship" with Eli Lilly's. Lillys is a major pharma company, and there are many reason why they need welders. I've been asked why a pharma company needs a welder, and there are numerous reasons why.

1) Everything that product goes through is custom pieced tubing-made in house.

2) Ever been the victim of a 12 ft deep tank getting a leak? Not a fun fix

3) Stainless, Hastaloy, and other metals of the like are expensive, why send them out to be made and expect them to be made right when we can do it and know it is right.

4) Ever had product-buildup in a 12 ft deep tank? We get the fun task of polishing off the buildup. Think about what a hassle it would be to unassemble all the tubing assemblies, gear boxes, shafts, valves, and then to move the tank to ship it out to be polished?

Those are just some of the reason why a welder is needed at a pharma company.

For those reason and more, I Plan to attend a college to further my welding skills and knowledge.

Another thought that has crossed my mind is mechanical engineering. My pre-calculus teacher told us the outlook for them, and in 2010, there will be like 3000 openings in Indiana. That is something that you really need to look at, which "that" I'm referring to is the job outlook in the state you are in.

For instance, right now in Indiana there are more lawyers then people needing lawyers, and more general doctors then needed. There is actually a shortage of specialized doctors. Part of this reason is because in specialized there are more dangers. Take for instance an obgyn. Say he is delivering a baby, and the embilacle cord gets caught around the babys neck and cuts off circulation. Some brain damage is the outcome, and they get sued. Not minor suits, massively sued. That is something else you need to think about.

If you are good at math, and enjoy the challenge, get yourself an engineering degree. Are you just wanting a general engineering degree, or something specialized? Such as mechanical or civil.

Sorry about the long post, but there are alot to think about when your trying to plan your future.
