Well here is my story, I graduated two years ago in IT for only an Associates. I didn't pursue my Bachelor's because the school I attended was a private school and you would overpay for your four year term there. Second, I was starting to lose interest close to graduating. That didn't help things. In the mean time, I've been wasting time and just trying to figure out what I actually want to do with my life (career wise). I always wager whether I should go for the money and where the job market is high or go for something that I love to do. So I'm at an impasse at the moment trying to figure out which way to go. Navy/Marines is not an option for me and I don't really have any skills/trades. I mean the most I know about is sports, if you sit me down and talk to me about Sports I can talk your ear off, but everything else is just going in and out the other side of the ear.
there is more than one way to skin a cat. don't limit yourself to these "jobs" that require a some piece of paper to justify that you are qualified as an employee. there are plenty of opportunities out there when you don't box yourself in like that. this is coming from someone who worked for public, private and self. do your due diligence and speak to people who are currently doing what you want to do. you'll be amazed at what you can learn. you might have to knock on 100 doors before you find the right one. however that one might be the one that changes your life. the feedback you get from speaking to these people will help your formulate your game plan.
i spoke with a woman yesterday. it had nothing related to do with what i'm currently involved in. somehow our conversation came upon what she was getting out of. after a good hour i got enough information to pursue another business opportunity.
