1. Introduction
Most of my life has evolved around my family’s dairy business. We were in business from March 1973 to October 2009, that’s 36 years 7 months to be exact. A bad economy and numerous other factors led us to decide to call it quits and exit the dairy business. I myself started working for our farm at age 8 and had to work every day. At our dairy the only time you could get out of work was if you were really sick. But even then sometimes you’d still have to work. It wasn’t all bad thou, there were some pretty good time to. And there for a while I really enjoyed it all. But once I got to my mid thirty’s. I started questioning it all, and started asking myself if dairying is what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I decided I wanted to try something different. So I set out to learn a new trade. I decided I’d like to learn how to repair computers. I enrolled at ICS a vocational school that taught a course majoring in PC repair. The course took 9 months to complete. And I got my diploma. A year later I tested for and received My A+ Certification. I’ve been repairing computers ever since. Mainly on a part time basis as the dairy took up most my time. This last year business has picked up but is still not at the level it needs to be. With some weeks being really busy and other too slow. I need something more reliable, like what a steady paycheck check can bring. That’s what led me here to IOT. The following is a list of my goals for the next 5 years.
