Re: Seeking advice / opinions

There's a third option here.

Before I get into that, just understand that the comments about FIRST not being a part of your decision are spot on.This is not the middle of the season, and the team WILL survive without you.

OK, when you were born, did you know how to make aluminum into robot parts? Did you know about chains, motors, circuit breakers, etc? No, of course not. You LEARNED about these things, very probably because these topics interested you.

Finding a JOB is no different. You must LEARN how to do this, even if you think you know how already. You should spend 8+ hours a day - every day - on this specific task. If you're not doing that, you're not putting in enough effort.

An offer: WE, then other mentors of Chief Delphi, are a treasure trove of expertise (=experience + knowledge), and we are willing to help you learn (and succeed!) in this new task of finding a job. PM Ken Leung and ask if we helped him land a job or not.

And we can help you, too.

Getting started: What kind of work are you qualified for? What kind of work do you prefer? Experience? Education? Got a Resume? Post it. With some info, we'll move forward.

(BTW, I have nothing against the military. I just think you've set yourself up with a false dilemma)

Don
