I'm in Denver

I'm super goal-oriented right now.
The first stretch of goals that I will share today is Job/Finance orientated.
I want within this year to have a functional savings and checking account, a camera, a bike, to be back school and be in an apartment not dorm.
In the long-term, I want to own a house, car, college degree * maybe graduate degree, travel, and maybe be the member of a health club.

I want to work for an office or a bank or a non-profit or a division of the United States government. Whether it is in the armed services or as a civilian. I emailed a reply to the Marine staff Sergeant who emailed me and I basically said that right now I am not eligible but I should be next year or the year after. Maybe I could be in JAG. I could be a lawyer and a marine. or I could work for FBI or CIA as foreign language specialist. I could be a poet laureate and pulitzer prize winner in poetry. I have all these skills and no idea where I should go with them. I am afraid to kill any of them. If I join the military won't that kill my free-spirited artsy poetry-writing self. If I work for the government, won't my inner activist subside.
These are thoughts that I will continue to wrestle with in the long-term.

For now, I'm looking for a 9-5 job not a career. Somewhere I can pick up transferable skills. I can raise money to support myself. I can learn about finances. Somewhere I can basically learn real-world education.
