In the past month and a half I changed career paths and am working in the construction trade as an apprentice electrician. This is the goal I've had for the past few years. After 5 years of paid for schooling & tools, I'll be making about 80k base a year with no college loan to pay back, and 4 separate retirement funds along with full medical and dental benefits. Part of what I had to do for this career was quit smoking weed! It's been about two months for that, which is another win in my book. Pretty happy with how things are going lately, even if it's drawn me away from here (:
