Lack of Opportunity

I entered the United States Navy at the age of 17 after quitting high school and receiving an Adult High School Diploma. After serving 10 years I left the service in 1991 and began college as a young father, working three jobs to support my family and attending school full time.

 I now have a BA in Psychology, a Masters in Public Administration, both from the University of Central Florida and an MBA from the University of South Florida. I work for a Non-Profit in Tampa and find it alarming and distressing the lack of stability and opportunity in Florida. I have spent a lot of money in my education and my family has sacrificed quite a bit in the past 16 years since leaving the military to have such little opportunity.
