I guess I have a different mentality when it comes to quitting. I started a second degree in Sports Management because I didn't want to do the engineering thing anymore. One year before graduation, I decided I wanted to just hang it up and sit on the couch. I decided not to quit. I just think finishing it enhanced my engineering career because as I tell people ...if you want to compete and learn about negotiation, sports is the number one area to learn it. And I was right. I learned alot framed in 'sports' that I apply to work every day.

I'm taking my CPR/AED class tonight and in a few weeks I will finally get the nerve up to take my personal trainer cert. which was one of the main reasons I got the degree. It has been a life long 'want' of mine for a long time...it wanes sometimes but I always wanted to complete it. I trained people out west, specificially people that are morbidly obese or just sedentary with no desire to exercise. I am probably going to bite the bullet out here in the east and work for a big box gym just to 'work' as I find it hard not knowing people here. But who knows.

I just see each thing you do as an opportunity. It's not the end all. It's a journey or more like a set of monkey bars where you just keep monkey barring along.

Why can't you do both? AND why can you incorporate BOTH? ie personal training people while training their dogs (aka agility!!!) Now that would be a cool idea I hope I'm not repeating anyone else! haha...

That and pet sitting gets my vote. If I could find a good pet sitter here in Mass I could keep em busy with the unemployed border collie/kelpie that is just ...well..bored...
