At a Crossroads...Need Career Advice

[pinkychique]

Thank you for the advice!! It really helps! I think I have a vague plan now:

1) Finish my degree (as I was planning but that's what I keep getting told, too)
2) Take a year or so off of engineering stuff if I don't have a engineering job that I know that I'll absolutely love
3) Work at a bike shop and take classes about bikes ( I liked especially that the UBI has a bike MAKING course because ultimately that's what I want to do)

and see where it goes from there....

now to that dynamics homework that I'm being so productive on...

but also, I'm an up-and-coming triathlete, I am showing some real potential, and someday (maybe next summer??) I'm hoping to qualify for my pro card. But what that means is that I need like 30 hours a week to train.....And that's rough without trying to hold down 40 hour job...that's what I did last summer, and I'm going to have to next summer so that I can pay for a trip to ITU long course worlds...I'm probably in the worst sport for the broke college student....
