Right now I have the lifestyle I want as a sales rep. I set my own hours/appointments and can take any amount of time I need for vacation/personal etc. as long as I am meeting my customer's needs and my numbers. Pay aint so bad either. The down side is that I put out a lot of "fires" and have people angry at me for things I have no control over (missing items, delays etc). The good news is I sell a product line (1.8million items) that every lab,manufacture in the world needs so I don't have to kiss too much ass like many sales reps do.

Do I love sales, no. I was trained as a scientist. Do I love science...thought I did till I realized I had to work my ass off for little/no recognition and pay.

No clue what my dream job would be.

Just had my first article accepted and have been asked to do another.

This kid just might end up a writer yet.

I'm on the path... buying a house is in my imminent future... I'm starting a new job next week (15% pay increase )... got the love a beautiful woman... Now I just need a dog, gotta pay off my student loans, and learn how to weld.

So...

1) Buying a new house - only thing holding me back is waiting for tax returns to add to the down payment

2) Getting a dog - I want an American Bulldog or something similar... ONSSP wants a Golden Retreiver... We'll prolly end up with a Lab... Buying a house FIRST.

3) Studen loans - unless I win the lottery, I'll be paying on these for a WHILE.

4) Learning how to weld - it's an expense I cannot justify as of yet... if someone gave me a bunch of equipment and wanted to show me how to use it, I'd be down.

Is the welding something to enhance your career or just something you want to learn to do?

Thats cool. As my garage/shop grows and comes together I could see adding that to my list of toys, but thats still a ways off.

I'm with ya. My old man actually has an old oxy-acetelene setup he offered to give me and show me how to use, but I'm an elitist prick(and lazy)... MIG FTMFW...
