And here I thought you were with No Such Agency (from your CIA and FBI denials) :lol:

I'm an admin assistant (lapdog I know) / Data Entry. Good people tho, family-like atmosphere with lots of friendly sailor cussing :D

I dunno... I need to make more money so I can provide a house of my own for my family, but I'm stuck here without a college degree paying student loans at my parents house...

all my career decision tests keep telling me I should take a counseling-ish job (I've often thought about going to a psychologist to psychoanalyze them back and see if I can keep up :twisted: )

always wanted to do something in the music industry, but never had the courage and I'm not willing to gamble anything financially A.t T.he M.oment (I just feel it would be a selfish move when I feel that my son deserves everything)

I think if I ever leave my position here, I'll persue a Tech support job path and go to Network Admin since I know the field and wouldn't mind gaining more knowledge of how to mess with my comp and network.

So which do you prefer? Having oilcovered men talk to you like you're stupid or stare at your boobs?

Tech support isn't a bad way to break into IT. Just don't get stuck there for a decade like I did :lol: My previous job before my current one was as tech support manager at a local ISP.

When I freelance, I average $50/hour. But I work IT full-time at a more stable job, so I don't freelance often anymore...

I'm moving to Florida. But there's alot here my Husband has to do before we move. We had to sale our house here, and get a Townhouse. Now we have to buy a house in Florida, before we can finish moving. I'm still considering it moving until I leave our Townhouse here and move into a house in there.

I only make that when I freelance. At my full-time job, I make much less than that, but it has good benefits and such and I have lots of freedom to come and go as I please, pretty much. So long as I get in my 40 hours without doing over 50, my boss is pretty happy with me :lol:
