So a list of the all the excuses, huh?

I just sent my husband to school last year so he can follow his dreams. Now there are no jobs for him to have in that field since people keep crashing planes and shit.

Plus, I have no idea what I would do if I could live my dream. I wouldn't work probably.

LOL. NO excuses. Real reasons why people can't.

What job did your husband go to school for?

If you don't really know what you want to do its really hard to give a reason why you can't do it.

Pilot. He has all the certifications, but since he has no experience and the airline industry has been in the crapper for such a long time, no one is moving up so all the entry level jobs are currently occupied by pilots who have been working for 2 or 3 years. It'll turn around eventually, but it sucks right now.

I don't have a mini-sub.

And I live in the mountains.

Stupid mountains, they're crushing my dreams!

The one thing I always wanted to do was be a military pilot. Unfortunately I was born with a heart murmur which automatically disqualifies me from joining the military. Im also 6'8" which disqualifies me from fitting in most cockpits .

So my backup plan was to become an Ocean Engineer and so far so good, I recently got a job offer to be a Test Engineer for the Naval Surface Warfare Centers.

See those are two good reasons.

And rather then cry about what you can't do your finding something else you might enjoy. Are you going to take the job?

Out of my three options I need to go to school for two of them. Each of them is $10000 or around there. So that is one thing I need. Thats not a big issue so thats not stopping anything.

If I go the firefighter route I have a couple of things to do besides get the money for training. I'm going to start on those because they will be good for me, firefighter or not.

Since you are able to do it now are you going to do it?

I should know in days if I will have some of the money for Fire school. If I get that I'm in. I still need to find the rest of the money but I will be in for at least the first half anyway.

Did anyone else decide to do anything they talked about in this thread?

OH! I thought of one. I had a business selling chocolate favors when I was 20 and I loved the business side of it, just hated actually making those cute little favors.

If I could hire someone else to do the grunt work, I would want to do this again. I have been thinking about doing something like what I did, just on a simpler scale this year to make some more money around the holidays. If I can ever get settled enough to work on creating a website.
