Yep. At that's why I'm callin it quits and just getting my associates. I'm burn out on school and just ready to start a career and doing somethin I actually like rather than wasting away in a class that I'm never gonna use.

Yeah. I just can't take it anymore. Everyday I go to class I'm counting down til I can leave and go to work. I like working way more than school. And I'm tired just barely getting by. I want full time, 40 hours guaranteed. Not 30 hours some weeks and 69 hours some weeks. I want consistency. And a boss that doesn't have his head up his ass. Lol.

Yeah,average is 40 per week but i do generally between 50 and 55 hrs/wk. Occasionally up to 70. But that's during the summers. And I do overtime school trying to get done sooner.

Start saving Colton. Lol. It'll be awhile before I sell it. I'm not entirely sure I'm gonna get this job. My uncle thought i was going to be done with school in December and has already talked to his company about getting me on there. I told him i won't be done til May so idk if a position will still be open. I'm sure there will be. I just hope i can get it because its basically nothing but traveling. They lay fiber optic cable at military bases and travel all over the United States and actually to other countries sometimes. One of my uncles that works there us usually on the coast somewhere which would be badass and its damn good money, plus you get per diem that nearly completely covers everything. I'm just ready to get school the hell over with. I'm ready to start a career and actually make money.
