My career path:
- Got out of school and joined the military (good experience for the future and looks good on an application)
- Got out of military and got a job at a factory.
- Quit job and moved to Atlanta. Worked at Wal-Mart until I became a customer service manager. Quit Wal-Mart and worked for a shoe store were I became assistant manager. Good work ethic played a part.
- Left Atlanta and went back to the factory in my hometown. Good work ethic/positive attitude quickly led to me becoming a supervisor.
- Left that job to become a cop. Gained lots of respect because of dedication, positive attitude, and work ethic.
- Left law enforcement to become a Nuclear Security Officer at a nuclear power plant. Experience in law enforcement or military was a must. I get paid insane money (hundreds more a week than being a cop) to play PSP, watch youtube, lift weights, and read comic books.
I live much better than the average person in my town--including the honor role students (I was a C student, myself) and the college grads. I lucked out because the right people in the right places noticed me (even as a shoe salesmen, a guy came into the store and gave me a business card--telling me that I had an amazing attitude and if I ever needed a job, to give him a call.) and helped me get where I wanted to be. My next step? Becoming a nuclear technician after taking aptitude test and being sent to training, of course. Education is good. A good attitude, a love of boobs, and work ethic will take you farther.
