i've thought about moving to one of these places for a few years. make enough money to pay off student loans, then coming back to gta.

but fam won't have it. wud rather have me at home while paying for my food, rent, insurance then me be far away.
also, i fukkin hate the cold so much. and in sask/manb , it's only summer for like 2 months. and the winter is beyond-the-wall tier.

It is, but you have to understand I came from nothing. My family came to the US from Russia when I was 2 years old, my 'crib' was a loveseat turned to the wall. I was raised to get things by any means, and I just happen to be very outgoing so I have no problem talking to various people. I also have my 4 year degree in finance.

I can't even tell you because after my interview they didn't call me back for 6 months. I was personable, and smart, but no previous auto experience. When I hire sales people now, I prefer no experience. Cant teach an old dog new tricks.

Yeah because Vardy is clearly a Russian surname.

I'm not the one who needs convincing brah. Talk to the rest of these guys ^

To me it's not a likely story but it's very possible. Much less qualified people have reached more significant positions with a lot less effort, simply through happenstance. I choose to believe your story cause I believe in the value of hard work and taking initiative when the chance presents itself.

A lot of people will never believe it even if you were to provide much more evidence. The reason is they measure their worth by how much money they make and they derive their value based on comparison with others. It's a counter productive way of looking at life in my opinion.

Project Manager/Electrician.

Anywhere from 80K to 200K depending on how much I work or if I travel for work. I usually take a couple months off each year for snowboarding/pleasure traveling. It's all over the place. If I need money I just ask to work more.

Denver area, but sometimes I'm away for months at time working in different states/countries.

I'm uneducated so I'm stuck here unless I want to go back to making 40k a year without a free vehicle/gas and other perks. The traveling makes the social life chitty but life could be worse.

At this point in my life I'm thinking about doing some online college classes and getting some stable real-life job like a normal person. Pretty lucky I started when the company was small and progressed with them.

Just had to get a few implants a year ago. Some 25 year old oral surgeon put them in for me. Cost me damn near 14K.

Seen him outside of work a few times, seems like a great career. I fuked up at life somewhere along the way. Ha
