Honestly, if I'd known about the world alot more when I was your age, i think i would have gone to school and gotten the degree to become a project manager in construction.

A guy who used to be in my union went to school during his bricklaying apprenticeship and became a project manager making good money relatively young.

Cousins husband is a project manager and has a beautiful house.

On a side note, engineering is very hard from what I've heard. My brother is completing his degree right now, kids a genius and it's very hard for him.

Another cousin tried engineering and had to switch majors because she couldn't do it.

If you were a good student and can swing it financially then by all means go for it. Just know it's not a walk in the park.
