I go to the U of M right now, and will graduate in a few years. I also work in a pulmonary lab on campus. I maintain the lab, do dishes, prep a few solutions here and there, etc. If I can get my GPA up to snuff, then my major is gonna be biomedical engineering. Otherwise, it's off to materials science.
Almost all the money spent on my car is for maintainence. It's too hard to save money for mods when computer gear and video games are so much cheaper! Doesn't stop me from stalking the CEG classifieds though...
