[i]Oh'boy[/i] is it an [b]upgrade![/b] xD

Right now, I'm underpaid by about 40% compared to current average wages for my career field and experience level. I'm only sticking around because of the health insurance and the fact I can work as much overtime as I want, despite being paid hourly.

Some of the technical certifications exams are online, one of them is written. Once I'm done with them though, I can apply to be a contracted consultant for the military bases in my area, or I can work for the civil service (preferrably foreign services but that would take some work).
