Recently, I've had a dilemma. I've been doing trades for the last few years but I can't really say I'm enjoying it or that I have a passion for it as I do in other projects I'm working on. Sure the money is consistent. But I'm not enjoying the environment and I can already feel my body breaking down.
So I've decided that I may want to go back to school. But I feel like it will put me behind rather then forward because if I go back I will make no money. I don't like depending on others.
Should I go back to school for a couple of years?
Thanks

If you are in a trade that can be transferred into a degree, say electrician, to engineering, they do say an extra 2 years will get you there. but remember there is a HUGE/ENORMOUS gap of information you have to fill in on your own time. But with the effort and dedication it can happen, I've seen people bridge over and it wasn't easy, but it was very rewarding.
Also a huge plus for you in this case would be real life field experience which is actually sought after right now in the Engineering side of things. There is a realy big change going on in the industry in which field experience is a huge asset.
