[quote=Anonymous]OP here, I knew that I would be persecuted, so I was merely trying to point at my own weaknesses in my statement. That's why I disclosed that it was a decision that we made prior to children. I've been a sideline observer and have witnessed how people are quick to judge on this board. I put myself out here anyways looking for advice. Some is good and some is just intended on being hurtful, but since I have to accept the bad with the good, it's all good to me! I was making decent money, up until a couple of years ago, when I was caught up in a RIF and laid off. Now that I'm only making about 65% of what I used to and the industry that I'm in seems to be stagnant, at best!, I feel it has become a dead end - go nowhere but down kind of a job. It's a wholesale business that manipulates products to make a profit. Think along the lines of an individual department within a home improvement store. We are the middleman in-between the manufacturers and the installers. The only real thing to sell is cheap pricing and the ability to finance weak companies that take forever to pay. We are a dime a dozen now. Customer service is expected to be included in the cheapest price possible. With the internet everyone can shop for the lowest pricing possible. I was pulling in six figures before and I know that I can find something to get me there again. In the Washington, DC Metropolitan area it's hard to raise a family with a six figure income. It's even harden with less. The cost of consumables keeps increasing. I'm just trying to survive! I do have an interest in areas such as; Mathematics, Forensics, IT, Engineering, Architecture, most things outdoors or working with my hands that stimulate my mind. There has got to be something that has an even balance of income and satisfaction. I just need to find it. Thanks to those with constructive criticism! For the haters out there - keep hating if it makes you feel good. It's fun to read. [/quote]
