Hey everyone. I'm about to graduate college in December with a bachelors degree in IT. While many might call it a good degree, it was a bullshit program. We skimmed through a few programming languages, professors were terrible, and overall, everyone I met in the field could not wait to just graduate already. Not to sound pessimistic about my school, I'm being honest about the reality of studying something that you can learn on your own. The problem: most companies won't hire you unless you have a degree in the field.
I love to learn on my own. I've learned much more about programming and software development on my own time than I did in 4 years of school. I got inspired after reading TMF a few years back - it completely rewired my thinking and started a flame that has remained lit for the past 3 years.
Here's the deal. Once I graduate here in December, I really, really want to move out of my college town. It smells like poop in the air once a week because of all the farmers. I want to move to Denver, or somewhere in Colorado. I started applying for jobs that start in January and the process is sucking the soul out of me. I'm currently working an internship right now, which is good for my resume and experience, but I don't have the 3-5 years of experience that most companies are looking for. I only qualify for basic entry level jobs.
If I'm going to move, I need to transform. This post will be something to look back on when I accomplish my goals.
By 2020:
I want to move to Colorado and have an online business making $500 in sales each month. I can work an entry level help desk job if I need to, even if it sucks it will bring money in to pay for my apartment and bills. I want to be in my best shape possible. I want a really nice apartment. I want to have $2k in my savings in case of emergencies.
I will be reading through threads here and learning to the best of my ability. Thank you all for the value you provide me.
