    Oh, I think the schools limit is 18, but I don’t want to do more than 15. I don’t know if I’m less than 40 or not but I’m close, too drunk to look.

    Depending on how the scheduling works I’ll either have 4.5 or 5 years total invested with a way less than 6 figure loan thank god. Not too worried about the loan though, it’s not bad.

    Jealous. I still have to take the FE along with a number of other things.

    Hopefully the actually program is more interesting than the generals I just got through

    Imagine opening a dealer right now, cars are out of stock pretty much across the board. Dealers only have the dregs of choices still on the lot.

    There’s no Toyota dealer for ~ 2-3 hours in any direction, and about 5 of the big 3 dealers within 30 minutes. I don’t understand why there isn’t a Toyota dealer closer, probably a reason but :notsure:

    Sometimes wish I just became a mechanic or went into the oil field. I'm getting my degree in Management Information Systems with a Computer Science Minor. I'll make decent money. Plus I don't have a wife, 14 kids, 3 dogs, and a cat to feed. I do worry about getting stuck in a cubicle all day sometimes. But my hobbies include being outside all day so maybe it balances out.

    I know a couple people that went to school for architecture and most of them are out of a job right now. Though one just graduated during COVID.

    Oil definitely has its highs and lows. that’s why I went into what I did, I can work in just about any industry and spend my time outside of an office

    I just do things, two out of four of my jobs so far have afforded me tons of free time to fuck around. Never know what you'll end up doing. I liked doing IT work though

    I'd like to start my own class work for hazmat and tactics.

    This job has taught me a lot from team management, chemical fires, biological stuff. Hell I'm trying to get some carbine classes in once things settle down. If I can do it be pretty fun.
