whats your Occupation

Go to school,Network, do jobs on nights/weekends/winters to get some experience or a leg in somewhere. Just keep trying until something sticks.

I bet you didn't become a machinist by rolling out of bed one day.

All you need to do next is become a politician and you've crossed all the obscenities most people can associate your vocations with, off their list.

At least you seem more on the honest side.

Yetti read the first sentence, and thought..  who the fuck  Is Forrest Fires, and what league is MNR ?


hehehe

Thanks man - good luck.

I busted my ass in the start-up phase and got promoted like mad. 7 years in we were bought by a U.S. company. I much preferred the early company energy vs the big corporate cover your ass mentality. I was looking to get out anyways when they suggested they'd prefer to hire me as a consultant so I took my stock options and their exit package.

One year later they outsourced all the work I did to India so had some very lean years. Had a good network so rebuilt and succeeding.

It's not easy but I don't intend to ever work for someone else again.

It's always easiest to say it wasn't worth it when you have it in your back pocket for the rest of your life.

I learned more in between classes and meeting people than most classes.

having a degree is always worth it, even if you never ever work on your field.

I have never used mine but I wouldn't have the job I have right now if i wasn't able to tick that box for university degree.

Not sure my degree was of any use in my current career. It did play a part in my first one, cause it was in that field.
