I am a full time student at the moment, however I had to shift down to part time work for obvious reasons.

I know I am 32, but still plenty of time to cultivate an engineering career. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my years in 'Test & Evaluation' working beside engineers leading up to this point will prove beneficial once I graduate.
That's the way to do it! I'm not full time student, but I am also in school right now to add to the resume of knowledge all the while managing my plant at work. It is ultra difficult to juggle life with family and friends and work 60+ hours a week AND go to school.

It's entirely worth it once complete, though. Bust ass, my man.
