Absolutely!!

When I graduated from high school I got a job as a mechanic in a motorcycle shop. At the time I lived and breathed motorcycles so I was in heaven. I also had been accepted to RPI and had an ROTC scholarship. At the time it was a tough decision but one week before school started I chose to go to school. I have never regretted the choice. As a degreed engineer the pay is good and my assignments and choices of position have allowed me to do 'hands on' work. You will not lose anything if you go to school, the world just gets bigger.

One caution, I am a very practical person. At the time I went to school the emphasis was on theory and I struggled in some classes. Do not let this discourage you, it will be worth it when you graduate!
