After 23 years in Banking and Finance in six different countries, I have decided to retire. I am going back to school full time to study for a career change, preferably in the education sector. I just handed in my two weeks notice. Is the bar open yet?

Good luck and let me know if you run into any country and western or blues band that is looking for a guitar or bass player. I might be tempted.

Thanks ya'll..I guess I am still trying to find out what to do when I grow up!
Anyway, I never had the opportunity to go to college due to financial reason when I left high school at age 15. When you are poor, supplementing the family income as soon as you are of working age is a priority. However this country has given me the opportunity work and save enough so I can fulfill my life long dream of having a college education.
My way to give back to this great nation is to ensure its children are taught to appreciate what they have and to love this country and not hate it. If I can make a difference in the life of a small group of people, I would consider my life worth it.
God bless America!
Now get me a Corona (oops, that’s a Mexican beer)
Give me a Coors instead.
