Lv 1. Work entry level job for another year or two (depending on how monetarily supportive the parents decide to be)
Lv 2. Apply to better job meeting that "2 years or more professional experience required" bull**** for every job in my field. No one cares about degrees.
Lv 3. Pay off mountains of debt that's been collecting the past 6-7 years.
Lv 4. FINALLY become financially independent ( when I'm in my mid 30's - about a decade later than the rest of the world)


BONUS LEVEL: land a job that not only pays well, but utilizes my creative abilities and educational background

3. Boulder a V8-V9

You badass. I miss climbing. I need to get back into it...

Right now I can do V5-V6 and my right leg is messed up, as soon as I start climbing and training daily I should be able to hit my goal.  :thumb:

I also need to focus on my crag technique.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

In no particular order (other than the order I think of them):

1. Get a better car
2. Fix my Mustang (might be a 10 year plan  :-[ )
3. Pay off half my student loans
4. Become more active (return to my regular biking, climbing, hiking that I used to do)
5. Take more pictures outside
6. Travel to Ireland with my sister
7. Backpack the Tetons with my sister and dad
8. Don't lose my job (?)

I got CISSP certified after attending a boot camp. I tell you what, I was dreaming about security practices for weeks. That was a lot of information to absorb at once! The concepts I knew of course, but trying to learn specifically for the test was no joke. I did end up passing though. Best advice I could give is make sure you schedule the test to be close after the boot camp ends. Don't wait hoping to study more. It is all in your head - use it while you can get the most out of it. Also, you will find that those classes for the BS in Info Security will do wonders to keep up your yearly CISSP requirements. After the classes are done you have to get creative and pay attention to your credits!

Nice thanks. I'll be done with my classes by the time I take the test. I'll have other certs to keep CE credits maintained on as well so hopefully it wont be too much of a pain.


I forgot, win another Clack, but I only have 15 days to try for that, this year anyway.

Those jobs don't actually exist.  You have to create them yourself.

Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing
