Super Taco Fridays

Two days ago, I came to the realization I don't think I can go back to live in Utah. If I had been going to go back to Utah, I had planned to leave here on January 03, 2009. That would have put me back in time to resume my studies to become an FAA licensed Airframe and Powerplant mechanic. Technically I wouldn't be Licensed, I would be Certificated, but most people call it a license. If I were going to leave in January, I would now have nineteen more Super Taco Fridays to go, before I left. See my Super Taco Fridays post on GliderMike's Adventures for an explanation of Super Taco Fridays. If I were to leave in January, I would have a minimal amount of cash on hand.and would have to be able to get a job to support myself while I went to school, if I didn't return to Utah. If I go somewhere other than Utah, I would have to start from scratch, as the A&P schools all have their own curriculum, and will not transfer credit from some other school. Most programs start from scratch every fall semester, which means I am here a lot more than an additional nineteen Super Taco Fridays. This also means I don't have a clue at the moment how many Super Taco Fridays I have to go. Putting a pencil to everything, I think it will take nearly another year and a half from now to be able to survive for two years without getting a real job. We'll see how long I make it. I didn't get any of the positions I had applied to with the mail mission, and I only have one application available within the next four months. I am definitely going to do some research before I apply for another position, and have all the information I need to act like I know how to do the job, based on whatever interview I will be doing.
