Hi Everyone. My name is Shem and I'm currently 22 years old. Since I was a child, I was always the creative idea bringer. I liked to bring change to the table and envisioned I would never work in a cubicle. How naive I was. I have been reading this forum through my lunch breaks at work after finding TMF (kicked my unmentionables after splashing coffee into my face and slapping me with a fish) a few months ago. Alt Tab was a promising feature that I used often 
It prompted me to do a few things:
1. Realize my job was not what I wanted to do. I had a promising position with benefits. However, I realized that it would not come fast enough, nor would it teach me any more than that of my positions attributes. I wanted to control my money and my life.
2. Took the plunge and Quit my job. It was one of the worst/best feelings I could have felt.
I have a few a few thousand saved up and a steady amount of cash from teaching on the weekends. It should allow me a little time to adapt to survival mode. During the time I worked, I thought up a needs service, bought a domain name, and started to learn how to use Drupal. I started to read books on online businesses, and asked the CFO at my previous job to give me a license plate that states "PROFIT" so I can hang on my wall. Once I get the hang of things, I will have to put my website out for opinions if that is okay with everyone.
I am a complete novice when it comes to creating online websites and businesses and so I look forward to all your opinions, remarks and teachings in the near future. Thank you for your time!
