I am lined up now for a career with mmilitary, I am working on
getting my ducks in a row. I have to catch certain bills up, is why I
am bartending, while I am enrolled fulltime in seminary, which is
requirement to become a chaplain candidate in the national guard.
The guard waives me in as a second class lt. officer, as a candidate
while I obtain my masters in divinity. I am undeployable for 2 yrs,
but sign up for six yrs.
I am very excited. It is dream career for me, that will change my
life for better in so many ways. Hopefully, I can sooner or later
move far away from here, and the career will even help me with that-
there are so many benefits. they will also pay up to 50G's towards my
education...
Currently, I hold a masters in social work. my Ba was in psychology
and religion. Pay for beginning in that job is 12-14 dollars an hour.
Not even enough to live off of unfortunately. Is why I bartend also.
Doing restaurant biz you make usually between 20 and 40 dollars an
hour. The thing is u rarely work more than 3-4 days a week. Which
works when you are a fulltime student...
All of my career goals are lined up to come to fruition by sept or
oct of 08. I have some requirements I have to meet until then. But, I
just made two of my main goals, one which was get accepted to
seminary, I learned last week that I have been accepted. And, to
secure a minor restaurant biz job to help me get some finances in
order for to help me meet requirements of guard.
All in all, things are finally for once- heading in a definitive
direction. Thanks to Lord's good grace....
