Lincoln walked miles to borrow books and put himself through law school.  Remember what education is for.   If you are sharp and a quick learner, you can get most of your "book smarts" from the internet for free.  You take a 2 year degree not to get a job as a road tech, which is hit or miss, but a real job as a house tech and you completion of college shows you finish things important to your career.   

If you truly want to be an RP and you are young enough, go into the nuclear Navy and come out with people lining up to hire you.   If you attend a school that is not transferrable to a 4 year college it may be a waste of time.  I had a 4 year degree, ex-navy but it took a year to get my first outage in 2003.  Yet when I applied for a house tech job the ex-Navy was still the most important feature, as many still feel in the Navy you learn to follow orders and procedures.  What you do not want to do is to try to work 12 hours days while trying to go to college.   It depends if you are married, with children, etc. on what you need to live on while in school.

I'm willing to start at the bottom and work my way up. The way it used to be or should be.
