Recent events in my life, have caused me to step back and reflect. I've come up with a probable plan and tried to schedule my life for the next few years.
Background Info (For those who don't already know): I'm a 19 year old Canadian living in Florida. I'm currently working for Convergys as a Dell Technical Support Representive. (Phone Support)
1) October 19th: Pay my car payment. I've decided to pay the whole sum. I fear losing my job is envidable. ($1400)
2) October 20th-30th: Loose my job. (They said in August that we should transfer to the Cablevision account because the calls would probably end in late October but since then Dell Sales has moved into the building) I will probably move over part-time to Dell Sales.
3) Winter Simester (2001): Start a networking course at the local collage. Probably a 1 year course on Network administration. And maybe programming. (I plan on doing this anyway regardless of losing my job or not.)
4) Winter 2002-Spring 2003): Graduate with honors
from Collage. Move back to Canada (Newfoundland) in search of a job as a Network Administrator.
4a) If that fails then look into starting a Province-wide Call Center for handling computer troubles over the phone. (This will likely cost too much so....)
4b) If that fails, then open up shop in St. Johns, Newfoundland or Gander, Newfoundland as a freelance programmer, webdesignier, PC repair, and computer skillz teacher.
5) With either of those 3 jobs, I will also pick up Figure Skating again and become at least become a Level 2 certified coach. Which will help infuse the income. ($17.00 an hour as a starting rate.
)
And then I'm back where I love to live, doing the sport I love to do, and working with stuff I love to work with! It can't get much better. What do you guys think??
