srsand1960 0 #77 December 29, 2005 Sir, there is. I was a QA&T project lead for a major corporation in Chicago. There is a good market for your skills. I switched companys and went back to being a Sr. Analyst. But the framework that I picked up in QA was awesome and will carry me far.

NlghtJumper 0 #79 December 29, 2005 QuoteMind, I was never in any branch of military, so I don't know what boot is like, but I do have a couple of friends that went through. Basic isnt bad. It is actually fun if you can stand it. Yeah, you are going to be doing push ups from sun up to sun down. But you get so use to it that after the first 3 weeks and out of white phase, you can do them like its nothing. I loved basic.

flygirl1 0 #82 December 29, 2005 I train and show horses for people in a discipline called 3 day eventing. So most if not all the characteristics needed for skydiving are also present in my career of choice. I think the ability to think clearly, make quick decisions and face your fears in high pressure situations are some of the most important characteristics to have in my line of work.Fly like a girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
