You could open up a Starbucks in a rich town and check out all the stay at home moms all day!

get your PE and work in consulting. that will hollow out what soul you have left. hook up with some hot a$$ed psychopath girl who grinds down your self esteem and ocassionaly calls the cops on you. be afraid to quit your job because you have a mortgage, car payment, credit cards, etc. have an unplanned child and sell your boards because she says surfing takes you away from your family.


pretty sure this is the best advice you will get

 

well, every industry and profession is infested with greedy and manipulative ass-kissers, however, you can only control your own actions and once you invest some time into it and arrive at a certain stage in your career (having managed to keep your integrity intact and establish a good reputation) you will find and ally yourself with the ones who think like you do, and then you watch each other's backs and help each other out as your cohort advances through the ranks. FYI - all careers suck at the beginning; its crucial for the long-term health of any industry/profession to weed out the non-committed and disgruntled early, before they can do any damage.

Start your own business. Use your ENG and PM experience in construction to develop content and build online training modules to sell to PE's for state mandated continued education to renew their state PE license, in addition to other licensed professionals in the industry. PM me if you want to discuss in more detail.

 

It may not be as exciting as say... being a rock star, but it's highly lucrative if you do it right. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it

 

I think he is using a program called Revit (sp?). I think he mentioned it was better or beyond AutoCAD. Not 100% but seemed like it was a superior program.

DP provided two very good options. The second one sounds way more fulfilling...

A job ain't nuthin' but work, brutha. Avoid getting a job, at all costs.
