    It's official everyone! I'm a working man again!

    This time last year I was beginning to receive my unemployment checks, applying to go back to school to get another degree without any money and hoping for grants and financial aid. I was also realizing I was gonna be a father, with a wife that has diabetes, and the risks it put on her and the baby, and not seeing a single possible work prospect at all. Talk about having just a little stress in my life.

    Today, I am less than a month from a degree, a happy father of a lovely little girl, with a wonderful wife who's also doing very well..

    Bonus, I am possibly having two employers figuring out how to cooperate so I can work at least 30 hours for each of them.


    May all those that are in the shoes I was, or possibly stepping into them have all the blessings we have been given!

    p.s. I wonder if one of my new bosses will notice the first mod to the dealership vehicle I did to gain us 10hp?
    If someone wants to throw a UY one in the mail to us I'll find a spot for it.

    Thanks guys. The degree is in Social and Behavioral Sciences, with a minor in Business Administration. That way all my previous education in Business Marketing and Finance and the years of operations and managment experience all remains relevent in a marketable way.

    Troy, nobody is hiring full time right now and I think my sticking with the spot at Toyota while keeping my options open is definitely the best choice. The bonus is a little freedom to do some local trips finally, who knows, I might finally have a chance to do a couple quick Pismo and Lone Pine trips.
