I definitely agree with the "twice as many mods" thing you said, too, which is definitely why I want to learn. I took a class on economics, so spending extra for something you can do yourself just simply wouldn't be very rational.

gotta love engineering

. I've noticed we like to mod cars more than the average college students. There are a lot of nice z's, s2ks, rustangs, vettes etc. at my school. Only one other 370 though and I think its a professors haha. If your school has a formula SAE race team I would try to get involved in that. I haven't yet because it takes up a lot of time, but I'm planning to.

My school has an Auto Society, but there is absolutely no way I can fit that in my schedule. Another thing is that, if I'm honest, I don't really enjoy engineering anymore; it's no longer a passion of mine. I don't want to be a dropout though, so I'm in a real pickle.

I kind of want to build guitars (be a luthier if you know what I'm talking about) because I have a wood shop readily available and already started on a template. plus, I have wood to use.

I just don't know, man. I don't know why I just told you my life story atm, either.

Haha I'm not sure what I would do man. I didn't start out in engineering my first year, had to transfer to where I'm at now. Maybe take a semester off just work and think about what you really want to do. If you are already far into your degree I would say tough it out, you don't have to use the degree after you graduate, but it's a great backup to have. I play the guitar, Just picked up an American strat not too long ago, so the guitar building idea sounds pretty awesome!

Taking a semester off might be nice.

I have 9 guitars, few amps, drums, keyboards, you name it.

I converted my upstairs' bonus room into a fully-functional recording studio.

Guess that's why I initially chose an engineering school in the first place
