It seems OT is plagued with 'poor me', 'my life sucks' and 'why even try?' threads. Let's have a thread where we talk about how awesome we are. What makes you kick-ass OT?
I'll start:
Two years ago I had just gotten out of the USAF and was going through a divorce with a money grubbing hag who thought I owed her something. I thought my life couldn't get any worse. Two months later, I met a girl who told me that I shouldn't hold back and settle for less. I took her advice and started going back to college. After some time, I applied for a job with Intel and got it. This job required a BS degree in either chemistry, physics, mathematics or electrical engineering. I got it with my military background in avionics and proving myself at my interview.
Today, both my wife and I work for the same company and make $160k +/yr combined. I own a house, two cars and have a net worth of $300K. On top of all that, I'm going back to school AGAIN to earn a degree in Computer Engineering. I think going from below the poverty line to earning in the top 10% in two years is quite an accomplishment.
What about you? What makes you bad ass?
