The first time I saw the job ads I had a little bit of an apprehension.
The job description and the job title didn’t match.
I thought, “Oh, this is really bad.”
I thought, this sounds like a bad gig, I’m going to be miserable.
I was.
I had been working for three years and I was making more than $45,000 a year.
I knew I wasn’t going to make much.
But my manager wanted to pay me $10,000 to $15,000 more than what I was earning.
So I started to do some research and found out I was not alone.
I wanted to be able to pay the bills and I also wanted to get paid more.
I had worked for a while for a company in a large metro area and they were paid $12,000, so I knew that was what they were making.
I wanted to see if I could get my own company to pay that much.
I was at the same time having a hard time making ends meet.
I lost my job as a junior engineer and I had to move out of my parent’s home in an area with a high crime rate.
I started to realize that I needed to find a new job, but my manager told me that it was just too much work.
I couldn’t take it anymore.
I thought it was a good idea to get an agent to work with me to see how much I could earn.
It was about a year after I had gotten a new position, and I applied for a new contract.
I got it, and it was good.
But I couldn.
The first few months were tough, I had lost a lot of money.
And I had the first real bad contract.
But I was still making more.
So the next month, I got a call from the agency that was paying me.
I think they told me, “We just hired a new CEO and the CEO wants to hire you.”
I got a phone call the next day from the CEO.
I didn’t even know who I was talking to.
I don’t know who that is.
I remember being a little confused.
It’s not like I had any experience.
I’m an engineer.
I know that there’s an emphasis on technical skills.
And the CEO had the right idea, so that was good news.
But the rest of the time was very bad.
I didn’t get paid for the first few weeks.
I just got paid by the contract.
Then the company said, “You should get paid $2,000.”
I was making $4,000.
That’s what I needed.
I needed that money.
But it wasn’t enough.
My manager had to make up the difference.
They said that was how much they wanted to give me.
So, I went back to the agent and said, I can’t do this anymore.
I’ve got to find another job.
So he called me and told me to come back the next week.
I did.
And they gave me another job offer, this time in the same field.
I still had a lot to learn.
I started a new company, and a new manager hired me.
And we started to work together, and the next year, I was getting paid $8,000 per month.
I never thought I’d be in that situation.
But now I have a good career and I’m able to save some money.
The best part is that it paid me enough to buy a house.
But there was still a big gap between the amount of money I was made and the amount I could afford to spend.
So that’s been a good thing, to have a steady income.
I can spend it.
I really can.
I don’t really think about how much money I’m making.
It doesn’t really affect me, except maybe for maybe paying bills.
But when you have a career and you can afford to pay bills, then you have an advantage in life.
When I had my first contract, I could work for the rest and I wasn`t going to worry about paying bills or making payments.
I wasn’ t going to have to worry as much about how my house was going to look.
I would still have the opportunity to buy it.
So when I got my first pay check, it was pretty exciting.
But in the end, I didn`t realize how good it was.
Now I have the option of staying in my current job and doing something different, but I can`t be happy doing it, because it`s so stressful.
I worked with farmers in Israel for three or four years, and they are some of the best people in the world.
They work the land, they harvest the crop, they plant the crops, they sell the crops.
I have always been a big fan of that, and to get to where I am today, to be in the position
