As I sit here reading a textbook for my tax accounting class at 11pm on a Saturday, I am questioning the choices that got me here. I was an aircraft mechanic for over a decade in the military. Why didn't I just use that experience and get into HVAC or something if I wanted to stop with the airplane stuff? But here I am, 35 years old with a wife and kid and 2 semesters away from graduating with a degree in accounting.
