    I know what you mean about prayers being answered. I lost my job and relocated before I was able to do this myself, but He made it all work out so far. Good luck with your schooling and starting out with a company. I start with my first company this coming Monday.

    A few more days guys and I'm off and running....getting a little bit nervous lol....JK actually looking forward to it

    I just hope that I don't have to get into someone's face. You know there's always that stupid class clown guy who knows everything, and makes it hard for other people to learn and concentrate cuz he can't keep his mouth shut..

    My school is already been paid for by a program thru WFS here in Utah. I think it might be attached somehow to WIA but I'm not 100% sure of that. Plus we just found out that there's another program that pays local companies to hire locals for work and if they hire that person on fulltime they give the company a big bonus, but one step at a time right now...:biggrin_2556:

    Hows things on your end still looking at starting school soon?

    ODX, some companies will also reimburse you for training if you do it out of pocket. So there is still hope even if you didn't qualify for G-money.

    LOL, I hear ya. I love my jeep. I've thought about selling it since I haven't been doing any wheeling lately, but I just can't get myself to do it. I think I will hang onto it for a while longer. I got called to orientation by Crete. They were my top pick, so I'm pretty excited. I got a thread started in the Crete section. I'll be posting progress in there as soon as there is some, lol.

    In just a few hours I leave to go up north to my hotel. Starting class at 7am monday morning. and so all my anticipation has come to an end and its now time for

    THE ADVENTURE TO BEGIN....

    thanks to everyone who has commented or is watching this thread, I plan on trying to update it frequently. I have my own part time business and a couple of my mentors live in SLC so I plan on getting with them while free from class to help get over some hurdles in my business.

    Good luck and keep the faith. I resigned from a +50K a year job with 4 weeks of vacation/yr to go truckin. If its God's will that you do this he will open the necessary doors. Attitude is a large part of the equation. Pray.
     
    jeeper and overdrivexx Thank this.
