yea like i said it depends on what and who you are with. i did two years, took my associates and called it a day. my uncle made known to me some other fields that i can get into that pay way better than just drafting. i mean if i can't eventually look to clear $50k/yr, i'mdefinitely looking into another area of civil engineering. which is why now i'm taking all advantages, everything i learn new i appreciate and try to remember because this can be the difference between me getting the better job or staying stuck in the office..(I HATE BEING IN THE OFFICE ALL DAY)
