First thing I learned about college- it has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. Anybody with the time and money can get a degree or three. And the difference between a 3.0 and a 4.0 is time, not intelligence.

I firmly believe college is the biggest scam out there. There's nothing you learn there that you couldn't learn in 1/4 of the time with on the job training. It's perpetuated because you can't get a job in many areas without a degree and the government makes a killing on student loan interest. So colleges lower standards, let more people in that probably would be better served doing unskilled labor (nothing wrong with that) , classes are taught to the lowest student, and no actual knowledge transfer takes place.

It's a very expensive piece of paper. I honestly think we're the dumb ones for going, but we really don't have a choice in this society.

I completely agree that anything you learned while going to school you will learn about while actually doing your job (if not more). Really is a little depressing that a single piece of paper can make someone better than someone else in the job world.

Probably the oldest of the bunch here, I thought I'd say I'm yet another proud owner of the V6!

Very well said, a 4 year degree has become necessary for lot of jobs to the point where it is seen as not much better than a high school degree. I don't believe college is at all necessary to succeed in life, but the current system makes it hard to get very high in certain jobs without one.

The only exception, in my opinion, is research and science. Universities then serve more as a hub where people do research together. Although I may just be saying that to justify my schooling, lol.

seems like all my friends without a college education have dead end jobs, and a different one every couple of years. I went the military route myself and was lucky enough to get a decent job when i got out. Dream job, no, that will happen when i retire in a few years.

Sorry to return to an older topic, but to recap you guys recommend the air scoop even with my current mods?

So JRE, ADM, Apex, or whichever I find cheapest? haha.

Also, I'm not a fan of how expensive the WW relocation bottles are and I've seen several good DIY threads on using a universal WW bottle, and even a few where people just used an aluminum water bottle and drilled a hole. Any tips?

I have a few friends that didn't do college. Some are stuck in life, others found apprenticeships at a trade and are doing well there. Education and a trade is always necessary, college is just one way of receiving an education.

then again, my friends dont have much ambition, unless it has something to do with hunting or fishing

Haha, I know what you mean. You said you were military, what did you do?

All three of those scoops are basically the same design haha. As far as a mock ww bottle just as long as you can fit a hole to fill it, and make it so the pump can fit in then you should be good to go.
