The Blue Board

I'm an auditor and aspire to one day investigate fraud with the FBI. Things like forensic accounting, tax evasion, tax fraud, securities fraud and any sort of financial misrepresentation interest me. It's a long, long path I'm going down but ultimately those are my goals. We'll see where I'm at by about age 30 or so.

Michigan State has the most federal law enforcement alumni of any university. Perhaps that will one day pay off for me. As it stands, I make money for partners at a pay rate below my expectations as I embark on the craptastic career in public accounting and my journey to become a CPA. Yay for me... but not really. Hard work pays off... right?

I've been told that if you pay your dues in your 20's, get the career in your 30's, that then you can enjoy life in your 40's and 50's to retire early and live a nice, long retirement. I'm hoping my financial decisions will pay off. Wish me luck.

Siemens power generation....Fort Payne,Al.

Oneal Steel in Mobile, AL. Operate massive cranes and other functions. We process a lot of steel for the shipbuilding industry. Some of these Navy Ships you see started with me and my co-workers.

BS in Civil Engineering in progress.

so you are an actual rocket scientist...

I'm a machinist at kirk key interlock. We make industrial safety parts. Housings, lockbolts etc etc. I do the programming and setting up our vertical and horizontal mills. Most interesting piece we have done were locking brackets for solar panel fields in Nevada, Florida and Brazil. Things were 60 lbs a piece and we had to make thousands of them. Only could pump out 17 per shift. Fun fun.

haha sort of, I wish I actually did some interesting stuff like that

my job currently doesn't use my degree to that extent but I'm hopeful my next job will...in 2-3 years I'll be looking for a job that I will really enjoy...not that I don't like my current one but it's not exactly what I'm hoping to do with my life

that's kind of what i originally went to school for - exercise and sports science w/ the intention of becoming an athletic trainer so i could still be around sports. the athletic training program is highly competitive (only 25 total students at the time) so they told me to go out and get a 3.9 and come back after 3 long semesters. yeah, that didn't happen! i eventually did get my minor in e&ss, but on a coaching track, not ath training - i was already coaching high school, so i figured it was applicable. i really found the exercise physiology classes interesting in terms of learning how proper form truly matters. videotaping athletes, tracing their body angles to analyze and show them what they needed to do to be faster and jump higher - very cool field of study.

i've been in tech sales or business development from the time i graduated. telecom, oil & gas, hardware, manufacturing, enterprise solutions, you name it.

Dude that looks delicious. Do you dine with Sooners :).

BA in Psych

Worked as a Marine Mammal Trainer for a few years in Miami Fl.

Currently an Intake Specialist at a hospital and starting my masters for Physician Assistant in a little under a year.

That looks awesome

Got my B.A. in Graphic Design and my M.A. in Advertising and Public Relations. Plan to work in the creative field for a few years (design, communications, advertising, etc.) then go back to school to get an M.B.A., most likely in marketing. I also don't really want to ever retire (I'd get bored) so someday way down the line I want to get a Ph.D. (no idea in what) and teach at a university. Preferably Alabama.
