things rich people with a lot of time on their hands say

Well I guess I’m rich even though I don’t feel rich

Sure I guess most people don’t think like this, but they should.

I came to this country with little less than a suitcase at the age of 19 to live in a rented room at first and now I am in my mid 40s paying for 2 kids through college, and here is a list of the jobs I’ve worked in.

  • Auto Mechanic
  • Gutter Cleanning
  • Construction
  • Factory Assembly line (twice)
  • Butcher
  • Music Sales Associate
  • New and Used Car Sailsmen
  • Electronics Store Associate
  • IT Help Desk tech
  • Police Officer
  • Gas Station Fuel Systems Service Tech
  • Back End Programmer
  • Front End Developer
  • Graphics Designer

Honestly, if given the opportunity, I would like to try Carpentry next, but I still have plenty of life in me to try other jobs.

I know some people might have a harder time finding or surviving with a job I totally blame the economy we have created for ourselves but I can say I’ve never let a job description or experience wanted deter me from applying for a job, the only thing that has stopped me was a diploma, and even then I just went and studied my ass off to get the certification or diploma I needed to do the job.

I hope that whatever barriers you have, that you find a way to overcome them and succeed.
