W-2 Jobs: Personal Narrative Of My Life

Decent Essays
I was working at Best Buy’s Geek Squad and at a local cable company as a play back air technician. My wife was a registered nurse at The Queen’s Medical Center. We both wanted to spend more time with our growing family as we have two children and another one on its way. We wanted a means to attain the dreams we wanted for ourselves and for our children and to provide for our family to create a better lifestyle.
We knew that becoming real estate investors would save us from turning in hours to make our money from our W-2 jobs. It was a way to create passive and massive income. That is, my life and I promoted ourselves from W-2 jobs into entrepreneurship and are now taking control of how we want to change our family’s trajectory of life

    Growing up I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do as a profession. No inclination of something that amazed me or pushed me toward it. I eventually chose what I thought would be a good stable career simply because it would be a financially good choice but it never seemed like something I could stick with or love. I discounted anything from the medical field because everyone was going there and I didn't want to be a lost number of people rushing to the same career, I wanted to be a little different.…
