Though it may work better if he went south of there.
Didn't you go to college, Mr. Dictator? What was it for?
I don't know if anyone can give you career advice. Job advice is something different. Careers last a lifetime.
1) Have an epiphany / wake up / find a cause greater than yourself
2) Having found something you are willing to support for free, become qualified to get paid for supporting that cause in some way.
3) ?
4) Profit
5) Use profit to further your agenda
Note: 3, 4, and 5 are not necessarily required for a lifetime of fullfilling endeavors.
Are you under 23 years old? If so give Job Corps a try.
It trains you to live by yourself and work and have a social life then they put you into a job like at mt.rushmore or some lame place like that!what is that?
what is that?
