when you are a car enthousiast, you don't want to stay in France ^^
I had the opportunity to study here, so I took it and we'll see what I can do next
In France, there are some programs: to become a simple mechanic, or an engineer... there is no in-between :/
I already have a degree as an industrial maintenance technician, and I tried engineering school last year... and despite coming 4th on the competitive exam, I found that it was too difficult and I quickly realize that, that was not the kind of job I wanted (I did the same mistake with my first degree in "mechanical design" ...).
I know that those jobs would have make me earn a lot of money, but I'd rather do something I like more (getting my hands dirty by building, creating etc).
Now, I try to be in the head of class (I don't know the other's grades, but I might be close to the top

)
If I can't work here after my degree, I will go back to France and try to find a job In Monaco in a luxury car dealership.
The only advantage of french schools is that they are mostly free ... not 40K
