      in monday order

      • took a look at myself in the mirror & didn't like the guy glaring back at me.

      • decided government work is not for me & beefed up my CV, time to find a new way to make ends meat.

      • might be selling non-essentials as i won't be able to afford this sh!t as a hippy type, lord my kids are going to be pissed 😞  [/li]

        thanks for sharing monday
        do what you are passionate about
        be happy, you owe as much to your wife and kids and they will thank you
        and most of the time the money will follow if you do what you do well

              Great post Monday. I used to be a work comp claims examiner and quit because it wasnt a morally correct job, in my eyes. Do what makes u happy…

                It takes courage to write a post like that Monday so hats off to you and I hope you find what you want to do. I'm grateful for what I have and life is generally good to me but I am bored throughout much of my working day and need to move on to something else. I'm getting married and moving to a new country at the end of the year and have to see this as an opportunity to change career path. Only problem is, to what?  :-\

                  hats off to you MM…I'll cross my fingers that things will turn out the way you want them to!
                  but knowing you (even if it's just the mad forum person!) I'm quite sure you'll make your way and reach your goals!

                  as for myself:

                  I'm near to finally end my studies and hopefully become a bachelor of engineering with the focus on construction management. finally after almost 5 years of studying I can see light at the end of the tunnel and looking forward to working and making some "real" money.

                  during my internship in switzerland a few months ago I'm sure I'll be moving out of germany and into my new adoptive country by the end of the year...at least that's what is planned atm.

                  so I'm really looking forward to what 2012 still has planned for me...unplanned or not!

                      thanks all for the words of encouragement, now to plot my exit strategy. i have a very specific set of skills that put me in a good position for a lot of sh!tty paying jobs, might go into teaching for a few years or maybe working with low maintenance special needs folks & then transfer that to a non-profit type of organization for children needing additional help with their studies & all that type of sh!t. time to start mapping out 6 month, 1 year & 5 year plans. i'm excited

                          Monday, if you need any advice, my fiance is a Special Education teacher.  I would be glad to help you out in any way I can.

                          Out with the new! In with the old!

                              Special Ed folks are a unique and wonderful breed.  I have nothing but the utmost admiration for people who choose to work in the field.

                              Monday, if you've reached a point where you need to make a career change so that you'll be happy with facing yourself in the mirror each day, go for it and best of luck to you.  Tom, tell your fiancee I respect her work and want to say thanks for what she does.

                                And now that I'm thinking about it, here's what's changed my life in the last year:

                                My daughter Caroline, born April 29th.

                                And my son got older and goofier

                                We started a mammoth construction project that still isn't finished 12 months later

                                I also got to meet Giles, Paula, Beetle, Blackheart, Denim Sailor, and Baby Knight, and I got to better know more Forum folks.  All good things, all of which made this past year an interesting and eventful one.

                                Basically, I feel like I'm a pretty lucky guy.:)

                                        2012 has been a pretty bad year for me. Injuries, cancer and a miscarriage. Here's hoping 2013 is a lucky 13 for me.
