Taking on the Twenty-Something Challenge

Rough stuff trying to make it in the world.  Who to trust.  What to do.  Who to screw! (that last one was just a figure of speech. sort of).

Networking and pushing forward and trying to move upward - a lot of unknowns.  Grad school?  Should you apply for another job?  Did you really give it everything you had?  Is that REALLY all you have??  Like, "oh hi i'm in this cube for days and days and days, guess there's a great big world out there.  maybe they fired me and i don't even know it yet.  seemingly estranged.  can i go back to college?"

FYI: do NOT go back to college.  Well, unless you need to for your career.  Like my friend MT who's going to seminary school...but that's more like continued education because you cannot preach or teach or lots-of-other-things without that coveted Masters or, dare I say...PhD.

So my buddy MT is getting his PhD as a Christian minister.  We were catching up on Monday (real Monday, not Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday).  And he has four jobs in addition to his schooling.  FOUR JOBS.  And he's on a full ride scholarship!  ...no pun intended...Like, dude, unless you count 'cooking dinner' as a job, alls I got is Cubicleland and a telephone.

He's quite the hustler for being a man of God.  MT is a tutor for kids who are home schooled, an administrator at his local church, sells/buys gold at a store in the mall, and he's a card dealer.  And by card dealer I mean to say people buy his card dealing services for their corporate casino themed parties and such.  So actual Texas Hold 'Em and BlackJack. 

Love me a good card game.  But I always go all in and fold anyways...

Point is.  Whatever you got to do to pass go and collect the coin - get it done.

[[Newsflash courtesy J-fizz: The Academy announces no more grinding at school dances.  Kids are on strike!  Faculty is stealing away the best part of what high school is all about!!] - so. what you're saying is...GO FISH.
