Fool,

Congrats on the 4.0. Here is my advice, and I have been around a long time - don't waste brain power. Not many folks make a 4.0; you obviously are a smart fella, so don't waste that. Not only will you hurt your income potential, you will eventually get frustrated because you will be stuck in jobs and you will know you are smart enough to have the better ones. Guys don't rise up to the top from the bottom as much any more as they did back in the early days; they tend to go a certain distance and then get limited by not having the right degree (four year versus two and type of degree too).

I know you want to start making real money so you can buy all the cool huntin and fishng stuff that you love, but just try to be level-headed. In the long run, you will be happier having finished a more difficult degree.

FYI, Nichols has some really neat degrees that are geared for the offshore industry and they allow you to work offshore and then go to school on alternating week back on dry ground.
