Motormind, 57

I am a computer programmer, but I am currently unemployed. In the mean time I'm trying to teach myself as much as possible about the programming language Java. If I can manage to pass a certification test fort the entire language, it should be relatively easy for me to find a new job. But this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to become a mechanical engineer. I am also fasinated with Physics, and I simply need to know a lot more math. I periodicly come up with new ideas for parts and advancements to be used in the making of car engines. I need to be able to see my plans come into focus, but that might take several years.
