All right I am looking for help on what to do with my life after high school. Right now I am a second year student at our local vo-tech in Machine Technology. I have eight National Institute for Metalworking Skills certificates. I have two options open to me at this point in time. Option number one is to go to a college that offers a four year bachelors degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology which would give me knowledge on CNC machining, master cam, mill and lathe operation. The college is going to cost me about 20,000 a year. Option number two is that I have been offered a position into a four year apprentice position at a local company starting out at 11 bucks an hour working 50 hour weeks. At this given economic time they said after the four years I should be making 14 to 15 bucks an hour. (I thought the 14- 15 sound a little low but I am not sure if the experience will counter balance this.) A position in this program does not open up for another 8 to 10 month but I would work full time for them in the mean time. At the end of the program I would have my Journeymen�s card. I want to make the most money I can in this field and I am not sure if college will pay off in the end. Any and all advice is appreciated.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
