I took industrial arts many years ago until a drunk driver wiped out

an interest in using my brains and hands to make things before his
life was ended way too short.

wow just what I would have said...but about you. I barely got an education,
in high school. Nothing practical. not even home ec. As far as the other
classes, mere rudiments, enough to get you into teaching or nursing school
if you wanted to get a higher degree.
