I find it absolutely comical how people who know absolutely NOTHING about the profession, the salary, opportunities, etc. that come from the career path can say with confidence how "terrible" of a decision it is
It's also funny how, indirectly, most of you are proving my exact point. You judge, you clown, you look down upon it, you DOUBT it as a viable career path. Your sheer ignorance blinds you and leads to believe that I've chosen something that somehow makes me "unworthy" of demanding respect from my relationship. The same respect that I showed her when she HAD no concrete plans in life and was attempting to find her niche in life....
And yet think about it for a second. None of you all know me personally, you obviously have no knowledge whatsoever of the profession, and yet you have such clear disdain. Now imagine that EXACT attitude coming from one of your wives. Not your girlfriend, side piece, mistress, or some bytch you fukkin. Your own WIFE. The woman whom you have NEVER failed to support financially. Bills paid on time. Food on the table. Car running. Lights on. It's her birthday and she wants a new iPhone. Done. It's Christmas and she wants to spend a week in Florida. Done. She decides she wants to go to Law School and needs books and tutoring. DONE.
Two years of marriage and basically whatever she wanted (within reason) she got. She came out of pocket for almost NOTHING in Two years....
Now again, imagine THAT woman looking you in the face with the same disdain, judgement, and ignorance that all of you, posters on a MESSAGE BOARD, complete strangers have shown me.
"Your going to be 35 Making 12.50""
That's what she said to her husband. She was no better, no more informed, no more supportive than some strangers on the Internet. A woman who for YEARS beforehand watched me succeed that the very profession in question. Paid bills, brought her gifts, once paid for her car breaks to get fixed, went on trips, ALL paid by Best Buy money.
THAT woman looked me in the face and proved that she had such little respect for me as a man, a husband, and provider that she thought I would fail. Just as all of you seem to think.
And I proved her wrong. Yes I DID work my ass off. Yes I did sacrifice. And yes I did make it to Manager in 5 months. That is no lie and no exaggeration. I am proud of it. Prouder of myself than I'd ever been at accomplishing something within a short period of time. My first go around with Best Buy it took me three years. This time it took 5 months. And @DMP can attest to this as he met me during the iPhone launch.
And then I threw her ass in the bushes. Just as any of you MEN would a woman who disrespected you so utterly and completely. Counseling was nothing more than another individual siting across from you giving his opinion how you should think or feel. Her tears and begging for another chance was simply the apologies of a woman who watched a man make it despite her efforts to destroy his resolve.
I have more respect for myself and my decision making than to allow a woman to EVER question my goals. One of you tried to equate it to being a rapper or ball player which simply is the definition of stupidity. You need talent, luck, timing, co-signs and a host of other factors to line up JUST right for anybody to make those viable careers. The ground is littered with the souls of talented rappers, actors, ball players or singers who never got their "shot". Working at Best Buy was about dedication, hard work, and BELIEF that I could make it happen.
She couldn't continue being my wife. I would have been LESS of a man to myself to allow such an individual to remain in such an important and integral position of my life. An unsupportive woman who is no better than posters on the internet? THAT is with whom I was going to place my faith?
fukk NO
