The only way I can see to do this is to work for myself. I think. I want a simple life, one not encombered with material things but rich with time enough to feel like a person not a prisioner shackeled with the golden handcuffs of fearing the loss of benefits that sometimes are provided to employees. I have taken those assesment tests and Its as though I'm eight people trapped in one body as they always result in a wide range of vague areas that I might possibly consider becoming interested in or fit into. Anyway...onward I go. But again thanks to you all.
Heheh, well, it's not that hard to figure out. The discouraging part of that is that most of the time, you have to choose between being your own boss and making more money. A very very few can have both, but not many.SpeedoGuy said:Man, I want that too. :smile: If you figure out a way, please let me know!

This is my job. I am probably older than you and I was able to get into this gig while the getting was good.GoneA said:Systems Analyst/Programmer
It's a great profession if you can get into it ... but I think in this day and age Tech Support is really the way to go.

Shelby said:Tech support is a good job which I respect and admire. They oftentimes endure more pressure than I do. But ultimately they come to me when problems arise.
