Went to SUNY Oswego at age 17 and didn't have a clue what I was doing at the time. Attended 1968-72 got BS in Industrial Arts.
Moved to Tucson Az in fall of 72 and began teaching in 73. Took well over 100 hrs in technical and education classes to move up pay scale. Hated college, community college's auto program was more fun.
Best high school job a teacher could have teaching auto. Kids were great. Where else can you get paid to work on your own vehicle?
Retired in 2003. Still substitute for other shop teachers from time to time.
