I got out of high school and didn't go to school, I worked retail and got lucky when my Aunt's office had a file clerk job opening.
I worked that job for a few months until I had done everything they needed, and then used the fact I had worked federally before to apply for other federal jobs.
I work seasonally for the government now, so realistically I'm making 35k a year but I could become full-time if I wanted.
I'm going to be blunt - I want to make a lot of money, and I feel like a government job isn't the way to do that. I'm planning on going to school for something, but I really don't know what to go to school for. As of right now I've considered business management, accounting, or computer systems networking, but I'm unsure if any of those will give me the opportunities I'll need to move up and secure a fairly good income.
I'm really not sure where to start, and I don't want to come across as someone who wants to just "fall into" the right thing. I just want to go down the right path - work extremely hard - and I want to make a lot of money preferably before 30. I'm worried about picking the wrong path, working hard at nothing, and setting myself back a few years.
What should I be doing, where should I be aiming? What are the good careers to go for? I feel like I'm good at networking and have always had good relationships with managers and supervisors.
As of now my gameplan is something like, go to school for something that interests me (CSN, accounting) and use my federal work experience as a stepping stone to make at least 55k. I think that's my biggest advantage vs. people my age who just went right into school. Once working full-time I can use my skills that I learn from each job to apply at higher-earning positions, and use those job offers to discuss salary and other potential job opportunities.
