    CS degree careers sadly don't pay super great. That's why I went the Business/CS combination route. Now if only I had a security clearance I could get some good ass government jobs.... Wish I had applied for officer school

    Clearance would be great. Raytheons a good company. I need to study more networking and security stuff so I can get certifications and find a new PM job in another year and a half when my rotation program is done at the bank.

    I'll repeat. Nope. Fuck SQL.

    Had the worst "professor" (if you can even call her that) ever and it absolutely ruined SQL. Never again.

    Yes I do photography for car dealerships. Sadly, a lot of dealers do not want new guys coming in to take photos from what I have experienced myself because most of the owners are too stubborn. It's like dude, internet and online presentation can make a difference between someone calling you/leads vs not even getting to talk to someone at all because you look so bad online. But they don't wanna listen they do it the way they've been used to which is in the dark ages now.

    Emphasis in management. Minor in leadership studies. But I have an expertise and work experience with marketing/social media/photography/content creation. So my resume has something to back it up besides an expensive piece of paper that says I passed college.

    Add the fact that I have been doing this for multiple years, and most of which were spent juggling full time school with part time work, then full time work in the summers which translated to full time work a week after college graduation.

    The downside to management degree is, not many companies want to hire someone straight out of college and put them in a managerial position. Experience is definitely more helpful and will give you a better advantage. I got lucky landing a PM job right after I graduated

    Yeah. I get that. I literally have applied to 30+ jobs in the last month with no responses at all yet. It's frustrating.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Gotta love a maintenance window getting cancelled 'cause they've asked for beta firmware on production firewalls.

Camburg UCA. AllPro Expedition leaf pack w/u-bolt flip and Timbren bump stops. 285 70-17 on stock rims with Spider Trax wheel spacers. EBC slotted/drilled rotors with green pads.
    In the back of my camper shell, it came with a AA-battery powered light mounted by the back flip up window. My kids would always leave it on and the batteries would always be dead in it. I bought some cheap led strip lights 12v. gutted that light housing and glued in the rows of led lights. I hard wired it to my battery with a switch and fuse and it works great! Plenty bright and has never killed my battery even when I or the kids leave it on all night by accident. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
