The "Bos" is Back

Hello world,
Hope everyone has been good and busy since my last post.
Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Changa Gorham and
I am the TrafficBos. Since my last post, I have been
plugging away going through a complete 360 degree turn-
around. You see, after more than a decade in the auto
industry, I decided to change careers and get back in
school. Now that doesn't sound all that bad until you
what field that I chose to enter. My whole life I have
loved computers and information technology so I chose
that field of study.

Before going back to school, I had no real tangible
skill sets, though I had previously attended college.
That's what made this move so challenging, at first.
It also began to hit me that I probably had at least
thirty more good working years left in me...Did I
want to spend them building automobiles and car
parts.

To go from having the sole responsibility of making
auto parts to figuring out how computer operating
systems work and how different Microsoft applications
work was challenging to say the least. Even the day
to day attire was completely different, I had to go
from jeans and a t-shirt and gym shoes everyday to
slacks, khakis, and button up collared shirts and
casual or dress shoes. Now that was a change that
wound up easier than expected.

The technical stuff was next. If you are unfamiliar
with the automobile building process, it's pretty
simple, you get a job, you do your job, you go
home and come back and do it all over again. You
see now I have learn about control panels, device
managers, hard drives, routers, switches, and
the list goes on and on. Just over six months
ago I had no real skill set and not much to put
on a resume. I hadn't put much thought into having
to one day change jobs and what that might actually
entail.

Within the last six months, I have become a Microsoft
Office Professional certified in Windows Vista and
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel. Currently I am
studying to become CompTIA A+ certified as well as
CCENT and CCNA certifications. These certifications
coupled with my aspirations to continue my education
until reaching my desired degree goals is what keeps
me focused each and every day.

Don't let the rut you may be in turn into a sinking
grave around you. Take on life's challenges because
you never know where they may lead you... You never
know, you might just end up where you need to be.

Yours In Success,

TrafficBos
