I went into electronics as I was always fascinated by that stuff. One thing lead to the next and I eventually found myself in the EE Ph.D. program at MIT. You never know what the future holds so don't let anyone tell you that you can't go to a good college out of vo-tech or that you can't do anything else in life for that matter...for any reason. If you want to do it...go for it. You won't get or achieve everything you go for but going for it is the only way to have a chance.

Thats very cool. We also had exploratory. That was alot of fun. I was really bad at cosmo
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I sometimes hear that Tech voc schools are bad but i just think to myself that I already have an education in a field I work in. We also get industry certifications at are school so that puts us ahead of the game. I went into the Computer Technology shop.
Two years ago one of our Bio-Tech graduates went to MIT
Enjoy the reunion. That should be alot of fun.
