Sprouting Into the World
Sprouting into the world in another month is going to be different. I am taking that big step and I do not have much time to think about what I want to do with my life. I can be anything I want to be, but the biggest thing I want is to be a pipe liner. Pipe liners get paid very well and this job suits my interests. My interests include being outdoors, working hands on, and having a task that must be completed. I have a job to do out there and it is my job to get it done.
When I go to the pipe line there is a l0t of requirements that I must follow. I have to take safety classes, always wear a hard hat, and the proper attire. Starting out on this job I can make anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 a year. This would be amazing at the age of seventeen. I can put a lot of money away for my retirement fund so way down the road I will be prepared. My job requires that I am seventeen with a high school diploma. I can make anywhere from a thousand dollars a week.
When I start making money I have to have a plan. I do not want to just blow my money every paycheck. I need to put it away and down the road if I want to buy something I can. Jumping on the pipe line right out of high school will be a big accomplishment. I can do things that most kids my age cannot. Suiting all of my interests would mean that my job will be perfect.
Overall the future holds so much. I can make a different decision if I want to, but for right now I have my mind set on going to the pipeline. I have a plan that I am going to follow and I hope to reach success with all of my goals.
