I agree, I am looking to use this as an income once I have the degree. On
the other hand if I choose not to make it an income type of thing, I will
have already retired from the military and have a source of income, all be
it not that much I will have one. My main interest is in this being my hobby
with a bonus, the bonus being known in the hobby world as a good source of
knowledge. That does not mean that it will happen right way, I have to earn
my creditability, and that come with time and knowledge.
