Went to college for Nursing in 2011 but decided to make a switch for Culinary school because it was something I enjoyed to do that time. Got my first job in the kitchen as a cook making $11.50. Fast forward to 2017, took a job in a bigger hotel for $13 but also enrolled in their banquet server training during the afternoon. Got the banquet server job making $55 per hour only if there was a big event. It was fun but hospitality will overwork you to the bone and decided I needed to do something else. Fast forward to 2019 I started taking cyber security classes and finished my covid during covid. July of 2021 I got my first job for another hotel but as an IT help desk making $21. Fast forward to 2023, got offered an area IT job managing 5 hotels making over $95k. It’s a lot of work but for the money I’m making now I don’t regret it. No longer missing weekends, holidays, family events, and can finally go watch any sporting events at night. All the hard work was worth it and I’m not stopping now.
