Risky allocation of time and who aspires to get a career in sales anyway?

Worst case I guess there is always the tar sands. I haven't looked into the safety risks yet and what a new guy arriving at the Sands can expect...I am guessing there is a reason the pay starts at six figures, and probably not entirely due to having to relocate to a shithole and ditch your family and friends.

I think I'm getting too old for the Sands though.

I could go back to school, but IDK how that works with my employment. First world problems of making your own way in the world I guess. Would have been nice to grow up in the 16th Century in a family of master blacksmiths and have it automatically decided for you.

Several years to go before I'm caught up to you though Daywolf as far as # of career changes go. You are a fair bit older than me.

Most of that I did between 17 and 35yo. College I did part time while working full time. I haven't done much in the past 10 years officially, apart from some self education stuff (e.g techy manuals mostly, such as CEH hehe). I had a back injury holding me down for a while, but healed up. I'm going to work on something pretty soon but not sure what yet, either, but not a CEH cert [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

IT is cool, that was my minor in college, why I studied CEH, since I do server stuff still, for better security skill. I've met a lot of guys in IT jobs that didn't do college, just went for piles of certs and started doing it.
