  I figure it's only fair to let those who stumble across this blog to know a little about me. I am 24 yrs old, in the US Army currently serving in Iraq since April 2003. I would have to say that I am a moderate Republican. I like to take on too much at once, but have learned to control and concentrate my energy so that I can finish some of the many tasks and goals I take on. The things or job fields that interest me the most are computers, nanotechnology, government, economics and investing, and politics. I'm currently tearing myself into pieces deciding which of these fields do I want to pursue and major in college.
I am planning on getting out of the military this year and heading to college. These fields interest me for three major reasons. 1: I want to change the world for the better. 2. I love economics, the stock market, and investing. 3.
I love computer technology. Nanotechnology seems great except for the amount of college it involves. I'd love to get in it, but probably won't due to the 6-8 years of college that will ensue. Computers would be the logical choice since I am very proficient in this field to begin with, but lately I have had yearning for something else. Government and politics have been steadfast in my mind for a number of years, but only now do I realize or believe I can succeed here. Even if I don't, I feel I need to try because there is so much I want to change in our government.
Economics is a passion for me. I love to study the market and businesses. I could do it all day given the time. My newest area of study in the market is stock options, how to read a company, and gauging when to buy options. Of course I'm not using actual money when learning, but I follow and track stocks as if I had. It's fun to learn and requires tedious work, but who wouldn't want to work like that when it will make you money.
Which way will I decide? What will shape my choices? Where will I go next? I honestly don't know, but I am confident in my abilities to succeed and excited about the future. That's the current state I am in right now. Most of my posts probably will end up touching one of these subjects along with current events in the world.
It will be interesting to watch where I go from here and I'm sure I will look back at this time period and realize that this is one of my major crossroads in my life. "A thousand mile journey begins with a single step. " and my next journey is about to begin.
