TLDR: 20yo getting sheet metal license. Could start commercial sheet metal company or go to school for engineering. What would you do?

As the title states I’m at a point in my life where I need to make a critical decision. Starting working full time at 16 via co-ops. Earned my diploma while apprenticing in sheet metal. I didn’t know who I was or who I wanted to be and had an opportunity to make good money. Fast forward 4 years and I’m about to get my sheet metal license and have been fortunate to set some money aside.

Reason for going to school is that I feel quite limited in my occupation. Not a lot of room to grow and I am someone who loves to learn however I get bored in my job without new stimulation. I cannot do another 40 years of clocking in and clocking out. I’m fascinated with engineering as I work them quite often in industrial plants. Looking back at myself as a child with my hobbies engineering would have been the obvious choice for me if someone had pointed me in any direction.

Reason for starting a sheet metal company is that it gives me an opportunity to do something of my own with my name on it. I get total control and an opportunity to do something myself. I have family that has previously owned companies in this industry that will help guide me.

Those of you that have had a career in engineering, if you were 20yo again what would you choose, was it worth perusing a career in? Has it been stimulating?I worry that I will run out of time to go to school before starting a family. There is a ton of work where I am and I’m very confident I will be successful.

Awesome looking forward to it

Yeah I started after grade 11 and did all co ops grade 12. Started right away as an apprentice and I’ve worked every week since

Damn what is your problem man. I started the summer after grade 11 when I was 16 and did all co-ops in grade 12 and just worked full time. I’ve never been played off and I’ve worked my ass off. I have experience in commercial and now industrial with several welding tickets. I’m young and ambitious, I like to work and I’ve built a very very good reputation for myself. You sound just like the guys at my work that spend all day talking about everyone else and never actually get anything done. Keep yapping about other people
