Hi everyone!
I'm honored to be posting on the MMM forums after a few months of reading. Really, you guys are aspiring to some amazing things.
I'm running into the following situation with my job that has me puzzling over what to do. I've tried a few different things but I'm not sure what will work.
I'm almost 24, and I'm in my first job out of college making just under 50k gross. I've been there a year and a half now, and I'd be making better progress with Mustachian goals if I didn't STRONGLY DISLIKE it so much! I hate being a complainypants, it's just that I die a little every day I walk in, and I live for the weekends.
For me, this is no way to live, and I'm trying to find a way out that will better keep my interests, rather than continue doing something that saps me of my energy.
Degree: BA in Economics (not many hard skills gained here unfortunately)
Current job: Consultant in Healthcare IT
Things I like: graphs, Excel, reading, lots of other nerdy things
Things I don't like: babysitting clients, organizing projects
Other jobs I've had: Intern at a State Senate, Math Tutor for College Algebra, Intern at a company I loved but haven't found a job at :-(
I'm considering--getting an Engineering degree (1st two years+ at a Community College to save money--there are some obvious drawbacks to this plan)
Learning some coding--I'm starting a class in January that will help me start
I like to solve puzzles. Are there any like-minded of you out there, that can help me think of potential future jobs/careers? I'm looking to stay in the KCMO area.
