If it doesn't pan out, with my nursing degree, I can get a job tomorrow making a MINIMUM of 50K a year....I can even make $100K if I work like a FRIGGING DOG (whop dee doo) at the hospital for the rest of my life (the thought makes me sick but if I HAD to, I can). It's all about planning ahead and having a backup no matter what profession you choose.
That's the key! Great careers out there to be had and someone has them! Just keep up building the resume, and it should eventually payoff if you don't quit on the way there. Some won't make it, but there are jobs out there that are just fine. Worked out well for me, but I never lost sight of the ball.
Now if we can just keep guys from signing concessionary contracts to get more growth. I never understood the concept of doing more work for less money, can we stop doing that as a profession.
I'm glad our future at FedEx is in large airplanes, to keep the regional jets away from this industry!
