I’ve been out of college for a little over a decade now and looking back on it, I really wish I had more guidance on my future and what I had planned to do. I started out as a medical student and I was convinced I’d be a neurologist, and then I was convinced I’d […]

Sometimes people can feel locked into their career path and not really know what change or help is available for them. Some people just end up being complacent in their position, and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that, but I like to think that everyone likes to seek out growth and true fulfillment […]

I’m not quite 40, I’m mid-30s, and I’m highly interested in the years to come. I really don’t have an idea of what’s actually going to happen and I don’t think anyone can have a great understanding. But I do know that everyone can plan ahead so they don’t get caught blind-sighted. I know that […]

I really had no idea which career would best fit my overall interests, personality, and motivations, until I found a little test that I really appreciated. One year I was able to take a personality test that was based on the research of Carl Jung (usually pronounced ‘Young.’ I say usually because sometimes I dip […]

I like to think that human beings are mature, have good common sense, and like to treat the people they work with an amount of understanding and fairness that everyone should have. I believe this should […]

When I was taking some of the upper level engineering courses back in my college days, I remember swapping files back and forth via USB. I remember those horrible times of having 18 different versions of every Excel spreadsheet, Microsoft Project file, and Word document from start to finish of the project. You want to […]

This has been a relatively new revelation for me in my side business adventure. I’m greatly interested in leveraging everything I have to up my sidewages. Let it be known that every little tip I can get to more effectively do things with a limited amount of time and resources that I have highly piques […]

Not too long ago, I thought I was too old to do anything more with my life professionally. I thought I had kind of hit a glass ceiling of growth and performance in my engineering endeavors in the space industry. This was especially true after the space shuttles were retired; I wasn’t really sure where […]
