I wish you good luck. However, be careful with aiming for Happiness as your goal. As a multiple-times-job-quitter dream-pursuiter, I suggest you have a goal more tangible than create wealth and create destiny. That is unless, work had you b

That is exactly what happened to my Coworker. She interviewed for a public job and they gave her the thumbs up. She passed the background check, and gave her two weeks notice. Then, some inconsistency came up. Apparently, on her application
