Making a big decision

Andrew M.

So this week I made a pretty big decision. I'm dropping out of college. I know not too many people would consider that a good thing but it was a descision I made intentionally for a lot of reasons.

The biggest reason I did this was so I could start saving up money. Now that my parents arent paying for my college they have agreed to cover my living expenses ( food and housing) for the next three years. This gives me an amazing oppurtunity to acumulate some savings over the next couple years. My plan is to work construction until I can find a job either as an intern for someone who invest or for a property management company. My goal is to have 40000 saved up by the end of this period. I have about 5000 so far. If i had stayed in college i would instead be way in debt.

The second part of this is that i found an investor looking for an intern on craigslist. I'm always skeptical of these types of things but all of his credentials check out and he isnt a guru or trying to sell me something so it seems like it could be an amazing oppurtunity.

My problem is that he wants a resume and i dont have much to put on one. I have a good internship with a financial company to put down and i could get a good reference but thats about it. Does anyone have any ideas about what i could put there or if it would be a good idea to just write an email about why i feel id be a good candidate even though i cant provide a great resume. Any ideas would be appreciated
