Life Goal

As of right now, I work for my granddad.  He owns a plumbing and electrical company in Calhoun.  My dad is a master’s licensed plumber.  I have been working with them since I was in the eighth grade off and on, so about a total of 7 years.  I don’t like plumbing all that much. It is definitely a whole lot nastier than electrical.  Electrical is what I love.  It can be very dangerous working with high voltage and big access panels.  I also worked for MME Inc doing commercial electrical work for a little over a year.  We actually wired the new state patrol post in Cartersville just down the road from the school.   We also did some dentist offices, warehouses, and the gem theatre in down town Calhoun.  It’s a very dangerous job to have and you have to be very cautious at all times.  I’m going to Georgia Highlands to get some of my core classes out of the way, and then I am going to transfer to Southern Poly and major in electrical engineering.  My goal is to obtain the engineering degree, and then eventually take over the family business and expand.  My best friend is also majoring in electrical engineering and we have talked about partnering up in business and expanding throughout the southeast.  Everyone has to start somewhere and if you ask me, we have got off to a pretty good start. It just seems like school is going to last an eternity, but I just keep telling myself, “It will all pay off in the end.”
