What next?
I have spent the last 10 years or so, chasing an ideal. I am passionate about technology. I am discouraged everyday by the lack of innovation in my former/part time line of work. I see great minds here and wonder what greater things could exist in the life saving world if it was approachable. I am a self taught programmer but, I have been busy carrying bullets and writing 5 paragraph orders for the past 10 years. I have been in the real world for 7 months now, and I am only just now getting to the point were I can prioritize my actions based on desire and not need. I was lucky to find a company that is developing a technology that I think is worth while, but is crippled by bad leadership and bad financial practices.
My question is how do I find intelligent people that will help me help my brothers while forcing me to be smarter and more focused. Where do you find people that challenge you and help you get to your next level on your road map of life? Is there a community for the intelligent war fighter? Is there a company that makes a difference that wants shakers not followers?
