Sometimes Life Can Be A Spiral - Back Again

Sometimes Life Can Be A Spiral

The Back Again Post

Well as it turns out life has some really unexpected turns that I keep throwing myself into. College doesn't really seem to be working out for me as I originally planned out. Finding myself finding employment for minimum wage which barely pays bills and debts accumulated over a time period. I find myself asking what I can do to get myself out of the situation that I am currently facing. Over $1000 in debt is not fun especially when the place I moved into costs $100 more than the previous place. I find employment easy to obtain but not to permanently have I need to quit habits that prevent me from passing UA's at my future places of employment. I plan on using the money that I make from my jobs to pay for Certification training and testing so that I can have an actual career and not be stuck working a 9-5 fast food job. Though the road ahead of me is full of obstacles I believe that I can steadily come up with a plan of action to help myself gain a better financial standing before the next school year. 

There are many things that I need to get in order to make life a little better for myself and I intend on achieve on getting those things which include a car and a working desktop computer instead of doing all my work off of a laptop. Deciding what the best OS to use is always such a pain in the butt considering the options are so infinite especially when it comes to Linux. I primarily would like to simply use Linux but a lot of the programs and applications I would like to use specifically speaking in terms of Visual Studio and the Adobe Suite are my primary reason for keeping Windows installed on my system. That and the fact that the HP I am currently using doesn't have supported graphic drivers on anything but Ubuntu. Which isn't HP's fault it's simply the fact the Intel needs to hurry and distribute it's drivers for Linux but the real question that I have come across when developing stuff on Linux is how do you know what works on one distribution will work on the rest. 

The answer to that question seems pretty obvious but I always try using the original distribution that the distribution I am using to test that theory out. Take for example Lubuntu vs Ubuntu or maybe something that isn't as clear such as Red Hat vs it's various distributions. In the professional world they say that people tend to primarily use Red Hat and SUSE Enterprise Linux. So I decided for myself to figure out how to create virtual machines for each of the following Enterprise Operating Systems. I am going to make a follow up post on the installation of those Enterprise Linux. As well as another post describing my goals to reach by the end of this year to gain some form of entry level employment in the IT or Software Developer Field.
