Time for an update
Still steadily going through my courses and I'm pretty sure at this point unless I run into a problem I should graduate by early or mid November. I'm betting early November based on the pace I'm going at. I did notice something when I took my final test for another class a few hours ago. I actually passed it without reading any of material and none of the practice questions were anything like the real test. I was struggling somewhat but I managed to pass by a small percentage. What was interesting was I felt like I would get these "intuitions" on what multiple choice answer to pick so I just listened to them.
I'm rarely playing any video games anymore as I rather just get stuff done. I did play a game a little bit ago. I played 2 competitive rounds of SMITE and actually won both rounds with a very good performance by myself. Probably some of the best I've played and I wasn't even thinking about it while I was playing.
Going back to my work stuff I do seem to be doing very well and when I get working I seem to be very focused on what I'm doing and I notice my memory for remember stuff is better. Even though I had said some things about getting an Masters in ESL so I could teaching English at the university level in another country I might have found a better and interesting option. I found out that Cruise ships will pay very good wages for IT managers (like 8,600 USD a month). It seems like a really good deal seeing as you essentially get room/board for free, get good pay, get a lot of travel done, and you work for 4 months then get 3 months off. I figure this might be a better option because when I get down to it the country I really, in the long term, want to get back to is the Philippines.
Unfortunately, English is widely spoken in the Philippines and the pay is shit. Heck, corporate level managers get paid like 4k USD a month and that is considered high there. So if your not corporate level you are looking at about 1k USD a month there (granted, that's still higher than the average of 200 USD a month for most people). So If I still went the English route I would have to stay in Korea for a good couple of years doing investments on the side then once I have enough passive income move to the Philippines long term. With the Cruise ship option though I can work on board for 4 months then have a condo in the Philippines I can return to for 3 months before I leave for work again. So I get travel, and am able to travel back to the country I really want to be in.
The good news is that if I continued with my current online university I could easily start a Cloud computing degree and since they cancel out any classes that are similar I would only need to complete about 30% or so of the degree to earn it. Also, I still have some of my veterans benefits left over so I wouldn't have to pay a dime really and I could easily finish the degree within 4-5 months. I might still have some benefits left over so I should be able to finish up a masters degree as well. So, its seems right now the best plan would be either go to Korea or stay here for a bit longer, finish up my Cloud computing degree, and then apply for a Cruise ship job then I feel like I will be living the life at that point. Within 5 years I should be able to retire at a young age no problem
I will be keeping track of my options. The only thing is if I were to go through this I will definitely being running the new LTU 5.5G. Want to make sure I have the motivation and mindset so I could succeed in this endeavor. I guess the main thing that will determine whether the sub will help me out in this is if v3 of the FRM shows itself to work out well in DMSI 3.3 and if the new LTU will help me on some learning front as well for the IT stuff. Hopefully the OE, the other thing that Shannon mentioned, and perhaps if the models saying including some learning type stuff might be beneficial for the sub then all that stuff working together might help out.
On the sub front though I have notice 2 other things. The first is that I have felt the energy flood at points while listening so I guess that is a good sign. Also, last night I found myself going into a trance like state while listening. I notice during this that things went through my mind like "I don't want to be held back by fear any longer" and "I will succeed". I guess that is also a very good sign. I have this feeling that the FRM is starting to kick in a lot more. Its just taking a while I think because I've have been ruled by fear for a very long time.
Anyway, that's about all for now.
