What's new

Tiber

I grew up in a religious extremist cult. I escaped when I was 17. I finished high school 3.8 GPA, but had hardly any life skills or awareness. I was in culture shock. I was trying to play catch up in a new culture I was unfamiliar with. I started community college, but had too much going on at home to keep up with it. I had to get away so I joined the US Air Force. "Get paid to travel. Do at least three years... get the GI bill. Get good benefits. Go to school and while you're in and get tuitions assistance and skill that will pay "bookoos" on the outside." I reluctantly signed up. For all its faults, it has been a great experience. It gave me the structure to figure out this culture and myself and the perspective to see how it worked. I got a security clearance a job skill that can pay starting close to six figures as contractor. But I hate it. I feel like I could do so much more. I feel like I'm slowly rotting. I'm a creator. I get my high from building something from nothing. And my work has never given me much time to do any school. I got a technical associates, and I'm 18 credits into a second one (General Engineering). But I'm going nowhere fast. People ask me "what do you want to be?" I want to be everything. I want to do everything. I want to build systems and solve problems..... They always say find one thing and stick to it and eventually it'll pay off... I started looking into other options. I wanted be to an entrepreneur but couldn't find an college programs that offered what I thought I needed. It seemed like ever web site or book was just another guru that wanted my money. I read all the Dave Ramsey books, the Automatic Millionaire, Rich Dad Poor Dad books and similar and heard the same advice... all the slow lane. It seemed wrong... everyone is doing it and everyone is poor. I picked up the four hour work week and by chance saw the Fastlane book. That was around Mid February (2019). It gave voice to so many observations and frustrations. It seems like for the first time I can build my dreams... This is going to be tough but it'll be fun. I'm going to make this work; I don't have a choice. There is no option but to win.
