Re: Career Advice
It's not weird at all. Actually I like the concept of the All in Garage....if there was one here in Atlanta I'd use it. Try to understand the business vision. Are they thinking of expanding to multiple locations. If so would you have a ground floor opportunity to be the business manager of one? Have they considered developing the business into a franchise model? I remember in the early days a friend who's boyfriend was a manager of one of the first Dominos pizzas. After 20 years he owned 20+ stores.
Whatever you do, work hard and find your passion. Continue to seek education. Obtain a college degree even part time with classes from a brick and mortar school (take online courses from established universities where credits will transfer). A college degree will help you in the corporate world. If you're technical get an engineering degree, if you're good at math consider accounting, if you like reading, consider history. Don't settle for just a college degree, pursue a masters. Make learning a lifelong pursuit.
Also, consider military service...you will gain leadership skills and the ability to work as a team under high pressure...as well as a trade. There are also good educational benefits GI Montgomery Bill. You are young take chances, start saving in a retirement account as much as you can.
Consider a job in law enforcement...many of which have amazing benefit plans (i.e., retirement after 25 years with 70% of your average of top 5 years salaries). Similarly many state/city governments, and state universities have great pensions n plans....find one, work 25 years and be eligible to retire by 50. Or keep working and be a "double dipper" with two retirements.
