General Ed
k im lazy as hell...when it comes to school. right now im only in community college, and i only planned on gettin my AS in automotive technology. but to get my degree i need about 7 classes for my general ed.
my dad said it best when he asked "isn't that what high school is for?"
im in an english and math class now with my two auto classes. i was thinking of dropping my general ed for next semester and continue on for as long as i need to with nothing but automotive classes and just learn all i can. i mean im already working at a repair shop, why would i need a degree? i just need the classes.

You don't want to work in a repair shop your whole life do you? The real question should be this: "Should I just take what I want to take and work in a repair shop, or do I want do go all the way and eventually own a repair shop?"
In my opinion, the more education you have the further you can go. Well, at least it is easier.

I wouldnt think you would have to take the same classes twice... once you take them once you should be done, you could test out of them anyway

you'll want the degree. It will benefit you more to have than to not have it when you are looking for a job. And you don't have to have a business degree to run a business. But for some people, it helps.

he's not getting a general ed degree, he just has to take some general ed courses to get his auto degree. Same thing I would have had to do for an Associate's in graphic design.
