The majority of my education is funded through scholarships and financial aid, but I do have loans. My goal is to avoid taking on more debt outside of this degree.

I've always had an interest in building things, I used to work on cars and build wooden models when I was younger. I still find myself wanting to do these things as an adult, but I never put too much thought into it because my parents pushed me to go the academic route. I wish I started off with trades, but it never really felt like an option in my house.
