I would say take that apprentice position with the idea of taking one collage corse at a time in your basic needs for any collage degree of any type and after the 4 years are up and you have a jump start at collage then take the same corse as you are thinking about or if you so desire after getting some experiance change for a different degree. After working at it for a while you may decide it is not for you so why pay for 2 different collage degrees. You will still have the degree but you will also have a work history that will be valuable as it seams that a lot of collage grads cannot get the job because of no work history. If you decide to go straight to collage get a work history while at school even if it is just stocking shelves at the local grocery or flipping burgers but get that work history. From a guy that left high school in 1959 at end of sofmore and before junior year and farmed all life untill lost the farm and could only get a job delievering newspapers and befor I hung it up last year I was spending more to keep doing the job than I was making. I did not have a work history so no one wanted to hire me for any job.
My father-in-law was a pharmist all his life but He started collage to become a dentist for 2 years untill he went in the milatary and after he was out could not get in denistry collage so switched to pharmacy and with 6 totall collage years the first 2 were wasted, would only have paid of if he had gone anouther 2 years and became a doctor but after 6 years of collage he said enough of that. So with all this said get your work history first and then decide what you want to do and from every thing you hear the people that waited till in there 30's all did a lot better in collage than the ones that went direct from high school.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
