Career choice

[mizzoueng]

If I didn't go engineering, I'd probably would have gone into architecture. I liked drawing buildings and plan desks :true:

If that didn't work out, I guess I could have gone into **** or a marine. Either way I am serving our country

**** and construction engineering are similar in that you get gratification rather quickly. While am well suited for both industries, I get a better pension building roads for the King, plus I can drive by and admire my work.

Well, either way you get to squeeze off a couple of shots.

True, I usually have to stand there to admire my work in the sack. :???:

Had a job offer with the CIA, but decided that designing water treatment plants was more conducive to my fledgling marriage.  I'd make the same decision again in a heartbeat.
Have thought seriously about getting into real estate full time and fixing up houses.  I do it on the side right now, and the money potential there is sick. 

Outside of those two things, I know I'm doing the right job.  Working for a great firm with great people as my direct supervisors helps a ton too.

man i would love to hear about the cia interview sometime (was it for an "agent" clandestine type position?).

I was going through the DEA and US Marshal application programs when they all shitcanned me after failing the FBI Poly.

I heard some crazy stories about the CIA interviews but not sure how much was true.

Well, that's not one of those things you can discuss in detail. I'll say this - the actual interview was nothing out of the ordinary. The way they approached me in the beginning, though, was nothing short of surreal.

Also, the secondary application and background check forms were incredibly long and arduous. All in all, quite an experience.
