re: Considering rebooting my life

I went from the Air Force to separating at 26 to waiting tables for a few years to working in a random startup at 32 to tech sales shortly after that's been great for me ever since. For your questions:

1 I just found a job that interested me and went for it. It helped that I was only a waiter (so broke) and unattached when I made the leap.

2 I didn't need any additional schooling, just needed a degree.

3 I was a broke waiter that went to working at a broke startup and then pivoted into sales making north of 150k after just a couple years and still increasing quickly. Work remotely and life couldn't be better.

4 I relocated for the startup and because I was also in Baton Rouge and there were simply no opportunities for me.
