I'm not big on lore but I don't know where this is going.
I have a motherbase full of kids and people spreading aids everywhere. And a zoo.

Agree with everything on the last 2 pages.
Game was awesome for first 20 or so missions.

Now it's evolved into go rescue this guy - just joking he's being transported 2000m away, enjoy the long walk.
Spend an hour clearing soldiers outside the mansion - oh wait, just joking zombies and zombie snipers everywhere.
Rescue this guy. Wait he's not the right one.
We got it, rescue him now. Hmm? Still not the right guy.
Ok one more time.
Kidding. Once more again. Promise - last time.

It's easier now for me to run in and set off all kinds of alerts, do what i need to do, then run out. I know if I waste time extracting the guards with perfect stealth that something stupid is going to happen and make it worthless.

ETA: Almost forgot: Exfiltrate the hot zone. TIME OUT. A burning guy and flying psycho ghost are now chasing you. Hope you brought the water gun.

re: VBA intro course for modeling?

I know a ton of jobs that say advanced skills but they are actually looking for someone that can do pivot tables.

100% agree.
I used quite a bit of VBA in my last job. It was helpful to build spreadsheets from a mess of data.

Once that data is in a useful form, it only complicates things beyond most user's ability to work with it.

If you're in financial modeling you'll likely just need to summarize and illustrate aspects of existing data, using pivot tables.

If you're looking to do database management, you're better off learning something like Access or SQL.

Agree with the freedom, but if you don't think you'll be approved I'd go with the slate.

Chase has probably one of the best all around cards - sapphire preferred. Establishing an account with them in good standing via a freedom or slate would be a good path to getting it when your credit improves.
