quote:At age 36 I took greater than a 50% reduction in pay doing what I did (construction) to learn my current craft, but I could see into the future. Now, I earn more than triple what I was earning previously in construction and I get to be part of making technological advances in defensive military systems. The learning curve was pretty steep, but it was in something that sort of fell into my lap and recognizing the potential, I took a big risk.
Was there much of a learning curve to overcome?

I use my degree for my hobby.
Any degree that teaches you decent writing skills was all I needed for my Sales job.

Lol at you fools who thought you needed a degree to get a good job.

The insecurity stemming from your high student loan debt
My loan debt was wiped out. Just cost me a deployment and several years of Army bullshite
I thought the deal was so good I stuck around for the new GI Bill. That only cost me two more deployments, several years away from my friends and family, and more Army bullshite.
...on second thought....
