I think that I will start by still living in my room at home with my parents. Eventually I will start earning enough to afford an apartment more than likely with a roommate or two. After 5-7 years hopefully I will have enough money to drop on a house of my own.

I chose this job because It is something that interests me and is a realistic job choice that pays well. My goals for the job is to eventually get to where my dad is now, the head manager.
