<p>My avg gpa: 2.3
I'm a senior in high school, my parents told me that I would regret life if I became lazy at school and in my studies. This became true, it's the month of august and next month is the start of senior high. I have no choice but to try to attend a community college, then if I work hard enough I will go to a UC/Cal university. I'll then be able to go to a college for my career path for my degrees in Aviation Mechanics and Technician. I will have to get loans because both my parents income is a total of 40k, I wish there was a time machine so i could go back in time. My parents never went to college and I'm a first generation phewwwwwwwwww. I'll just be happy for my friends that get into a good college. Here I go life!</p>
<p>Aircraft Mechanics/Technicians 30k a year start. Not really for the money anyhow, but the passion. </p>
<p>P.s. I also want to pursue Aeronautic Engineering, I'm still happy that I know what I wanna do with my life. =-D</p>
<p>Although, if I had the choice between getting a degree to be a 30k/yr tech or to be an engineer…i’d pick the latter. But you sir, you’ve got it all figured out.</p>
<p>I think you have a great plan. For yourself! But if your parents make that much, then you should do more research on how much financial aid you can receive cuz i think its more affordable than you said. </p>
<p>But i personally want to say that although you made mistakes in the past (I know I have my own fair share of mistakes), everything happens for a reason so stick to it and i wish the best for you :)</p>
<p>It’s never too late to start making good choices! I think it’s great that you have found a passion. Just stay focused on your goals and work hard. Success may not be instant, but hard work will always pay off. :)</p>
<p>You definitely can accomplish that! I was like you, freshman year was horrible and I regret doing so badly. Many people do not try to better themselves and fix the mistakes that they’ve made, so you’re at a great start already. Good luck!</p>
<p>Personally, I think you’d be much better suited trying engineering out so that you can provide a better life both for yourself and your future children if you will have them. My dad and their brothers worked their butts of individually to get out of poverty. I kinda took it for granted but am getting my life on track. Better now than never. </p>
<p>Do good in your math and physics classes at your CC and you’ll for sure get into a university to pursue your desired major. Cal Poly SLO/Cal Poly Pomona are good engineering schools for the CSU’s. UC’s like Berkeley and UCLA are cool too.</p>
<p>I would try out community college for one year and then decide. I also think that an aircraft mechanic will make more than that and it sounds like a great profession.</p>
now even more motivated!</p>
