Re:Education

DeWayne,
Formal education is over rated. You're only 43! Start building!! Start learning!!! If I had the internet when I was young, who knows where I would be now!!! Everything you need to know is out there! Go find it!!!
OR, if you insist on higher education, there's computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, "mechatronics," or if you are interested in robotics, all of the above!
Use your brain!
Think (and act) outside the box!!
Unencumbered by "formal" education, you could be on the cutting edge of robotics!!!

my two cents, anyway.

Dave
