One fine day, while I was working as a help desk technician at a major ISP in Atlanta, I was approached by my supervisor and told that my job would be outsourced to India. Lovely! Because I couln’t find another job that would pay me what I was accustomed to making, I decided to go back to school. I scoured the Internet and found that North Dakota offered an extremely low cost of living and really cheap college tuition rates. So, I packed up my kids and moved across country.
Once I started school (pre-law) I was as happy as a clam — at first. I think I was just happy to be in school, but eventually, I found that I actually HATED SCHOOL! I was making excellent grades but I was bored to tears. I began to become depressed because I didn’t really see a light at the end of the tunnel. I have never liked working for others and I found that college coursework was nothing more than me “working” for my professors. On top of that, my future dictated that I would spend the rest of my life working for someone else.
I didn’t like what my future held, so I decided to take action. I decided that while I am in school I will work ONLY for myself, and once I complete college I will set up a Solo Practice. I will never again work for someone else. Through research, I found that I actually can support myself entirely with web content production.
