Brian Hamilton
I'm on the verge of touching myself inappropriatel
Thanks for all your words guys!! As far as my education, I graduated High School and went right to work to help support my family (mom, brother, step-sisters) because my step-dad was a lazy sombitch. We moved from Alabama to Texas because he said he had all this computer experience and Austin, Texas was going to be the next Silicone Valley. He was right! But he lost his job after only 2 years and NEVER got another one. So Brian, being the badass he is, decided he was going to help out by giving my mom most of what I made at my job. Everyone needs a little play money though. SO I have been working since 1997, solid.
I know the importance of a higher education, my problem is I never saw anything that interested me enough to dump a TON of cash into learning about it. If something interests me, I start hanging out with those people associated with that thing and absorb their knowledge and experience like a sponge. LOL This works well in most cases, but in automotive it worked extremely well. But the bad thing is, you learn a lot about most things, but some things you never learn anything about. I didn't understand timing untill only a couple years ago and I'm still not completely up on it, but on the flip side, I can tell you all about forced induction, fuel system design, and stuff like that. You know, the COOL stuff. Hehe.
I guess I just need to find that career that I love and that I can make a decent living at. My whole life I wanted to make $100k a year. That's been a goal of mine FOREVER. I know it's not a ton of cash, but something about a 6 figure income just gets me. I guess it's that allure of $100,000.00... I mean look at all those 0's!! With my education and experience though, it seems that this was one of the only careers in which I could attain that level of income. It seems that yet again I have decided to persue a new career at the worst time imaginable. Go me!
I was looking at getting my rotary wing license to be a commercial helicopter pilot. I thought that would be a really cool job and they pay really well. Then upon investigating the cost associated, it's hard to shell out $60k for an education.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness, obviously wasn't completely broke...
