That's kinda funny, I'm actually sitting in my accounting class right now. I wasn't really planning on doing book work or any sort of accounting, just not something im passionate about. Any I may have been a little unclear about what I'm doing now, but I'm just finishing my freshman year at ISU. I took mostly business generals these first two semesters. It looks like about 1 semester of classes would switch over to ME if I decided to. I am planning on speaking with the ME advisor in a little bit and get some first hand experience about what ME has to offer. TurboDomestics those links were very helpful and provide a great amount of information! I'll definitely reference that site when I speak with the ME advisor.
I guess what I'm thinking is even though sales is something I am good at, my passion is really with mechanics. I think it would be so cool to sit down and work on a project with a group of guys designing or critiquing engines/transmitions/etc. I understand that most engineers get the opportunity to test their final results and that really excites me about that profession. I am going to try and get a hold of some engineers that work for mitsu and see what kind of jobs they offer for MEs and what I could do to get to that point.
As far as having a business pay for my tuition or part of it. That would be really great, but I don't really think I would want to sacrifice a "real college experience" for night classes and a extra heavy work load. I am currently working while I'm here at school, but not much more than 16 hours a week, so that's not too bad. I'll post up later tonight after I speak with the ME advisor. Thanks again so much guys. You have all been very helpful and I look forward to replies every time I log on
