Folks,
I am asking this question on this board as well as some other places to hear some advice and input. I am really considering going back (well 1 year doesnt count) to school to learn a career or trade. I know there is a diverse bunch of folks here and would love to go off the beaten path for a moment to just ask to see what yall think. Pros and cons if you are in or know someone in these fields. I have a state college and a tech school near me ( some can be done online) that offers these options.
Computer Stuff-
Programmer, Software Designer, Database Specialist, IT Pro, etc....
Drafting Technology-
Mechanical, Architectural, Engineering, CAD, etc..( I actually took 2 years of this in high school and was damn good at architectural, also was very good in art school with interior design..(only guy in that class which was FUN!))
Business Management--
My background is mostly in sales in which I have been decently successful where I was at the time (bad management above me is what lost me those jobs because they destroyed the companies)
Accounting---
Really dont cafe for this but know I could easily do it.....the world will always need an accountant..lol
Medical---
I know this could come in reaaaaal handy in the PAW but I am focusing on real life and this is a field I really wouldnt have any interest in
Teaching--
My wife is doing this and seems to think I would be a great high school history teacher...I would also go to jail for killing teenagers with my Chuck Norris like kicks also
But like I said, just throwing this out there to see some different angles than the ones I am getting. I know with a site like this and the goals that we as preppers go for, a lot of this stuff is irrelevant. But, I am shooting for the PAW never happening (there is a chance it does or doesnt) and life continuing just a lil different (better of worse) than it already is.....
Also, I want the skills I already possess and the stuff I already have to get me through a TEOTWAWKI event....in which I think I will be better off than 85% of the country....
My ideal situation would be get my 10 acres and let my wife work while I work the property saving us money with homesteading but that isnt a reality yet......and it would be a tough sale to the Mrs. at this time....
Thanks folks
