How did I let it get this far without any real direction.  I wanted to be a professional musician (aka rock star) as a teenager.  Well, that plan sure failed.  So, I went with what appeared to be the next money maker, computers.   Got my AAS degree in Electronics Technology.  That&#8217;s great but could only lead to a life in manufacturing.  I found myself right back in school and finally got my BS in Computer Information Systems.  That led me here to GA.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what I had in mind, either.  So what do I want to do?<\/p>\n<p>1.) <strong>Own my own business. <\/strong> A bar\/nightclub\/restaurant.  This is a pretty competitive business and I have no business sense.  This is bound to fail.  Not to mention, you need lots of capital to start up a business, which I don&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>2.) <strong>Systems Admin.<\/strong>  That is the most likely scenario for me.  I have a few Microsoft certification tests I need to take and get some certifications that I can put on my resume.  MCP is far too common to be impressive.<\/p>\n<p>3.) <strong>Forensics.<\/strong>  If only shows like &#8220;The Forensic Files&#8221; had been on TV when I was in college, I might have changed my major.  It would take too many hours in college now for me to go back and get another degree.<\/p>\n<p>4.) <strong>Retail store manager.  <\/strong>Depends on which one, money can be made but it is a huge operation to keep going and when things fail, you are the one to blame.<\/p>\n<p>5.) <strong>Bum.<\/strong>  This would be easy to obtain but hard to live.<\/p>\n<p>Hard to belive that after all these years of thinking I knew what I wanted, I am still thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know just about as much about what I want to do with my life as I did when I was 18.
