Well, what the heck... I'll throw out this bone to chew on. I've been thinking about this for about two years and was wondering what your input might be. I've been working with students for almost 10 years, first in Alaska where I grew up and returned to after college and now, I've been doing the same thing in Olympia, Washington. So instead of muskegman, I should really be "the reverend." I'm seriously considering a career move right now, but not sure what that might look like. I've got a BA degree from a liberal arts school and have a bit of experience in retail (which isn't my first choice), fishing industry, music and whatever.

I'm kind of stumped about what to do next really. I was wondering what you guys might have to say in the way of good career choices at this stage of the game. I've considered going back to school but haven't landed on a career to pursue yet.

That doesn't really narrow things down much for you, but you might share what you're doing... I'd be interested to hear.

I have only one question for you: what do you like to do? Could be a list, could be one thing, but it's an important question.

Just from me talking to you, it seems like your love is definitely music. So that's what I would suggest. But that is just off the top of my head.

Like Erik said, as long as it's something you enjoy, then you should be ok. I'll talk to you more on AIM about it this weekend I'm sure.

I'm not sure if I enjoy what I'm doing or not. That's not good..

Good question, but a difficult one for me now...

I enjoy computers but am not a genius at it, golf, the outdoors, working with people is cool (most of the time). I do enjoy music, but thats not a cash cow. I'm willing to give a lot of things a try and am not opposed to heading back to school. Thats kind of my dilemma, I can't see past the end of my nose on this one. I've considered the investments field as that is a valuable thing for people and something that is important to me. Anyway, thats about all I can come up with right now.

You should apply to work at an Apple store.

    • Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good. 
    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
