UNC Charlotte. Its 4 years non profession bat. or 5 years professional bat. Then most other schools I looked at are 3 more masters if you wait, or 2 if you go straight into it(or something along those lines, thats NC state). Even the private school I was applying for wanted me for 5 years for my prof. batch. I had considered the split degree, batchelors in engineering, then a masters in architecture, but I'd have to chrunch numbers for 4 years, I don't think I could go that long without being creative(minus building a model bridge). If I was looking to make the most money when I graduated, thats the way I'd go though...But the big question is, can I chrunch numbers for that long, and not design a building....

I own my own motorcycle painting business. I restore vintage bikes as well as custom harleys. It`s just like when your third grade teacher brought out the paint sets except I bring them out everyday. Bob Myers NC
Bob, Excellent job :yesnod:
Here in Limeyland we envy the American customisers/restorers as they can get such good paintjobs done. Here getting the paintwork done is the worst part of any bike - just finding somebody that will do a good job & not having to wait several months or pay a fortune is nearly impossible. Any chance of opening up a shop over here? The weather ain't all that, we drive on the wrong side of the road, but the beer's good :lol:

Hey all! I'm a mining engineering technologist that actually did that until the mine closed ... :-( Now I'm a security guard (me and my GSD) at the same mine I was working at... I think every one here should buy a lot of gold and drive the price up so I can keep my '79!!!

well it's not near as interesting as the job I would like to have, which is using my hands to get exact fit for bra cups for models.
