probably in about a decade.
but yeah, the biggest hurdle, to be honest, is landing a good job in the first place, once you're in, you're probably set. and i put a lot of effort into work, but not as much effort when it comes to studies. Results show that effort, but employers always have good things to say, though its all hospitality, waitering and cook and stuff, so really irrelevant.
Am trying to get into my metallurgy lecturer's good books at the moment, so he'll be a reference for my resume, having one of the top metallurgical profs as my reference should do wonders.
