From Engineer to SEO to ??

Happy to be here!

Who am I?
I've been doing SEO for 3 years, for an affiliate site right now.
Before this, I built email funnels and a paid newsletter.
I was a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry. That's what I went to school for.

What's Next:
I want to create web properties and build cashflowing digital assets.
I want to employ others but be flexible to their life needs and give them some stability in their lives.

Today:
I'm learning Python
Will learn SQL
Building and testing sites
I'm big on testing (it's my engineering background coming out)

Let me know if I can help!

PS: How do I message people? JK

Why would you give up on your professional career? SEO should be just like a part-time job for you. Do you have a license to practice?

1. I didn't want my job options to be coupled to a geographic location. Almost all of manufacturing requires in person or travel. Therefore, if you don't want to move to a place, you won't be able to consider a job in that location. That gets very complicated as you have kids and build a family - you cannot just pick up and move your family. As an SEO, I can consider jobs with companies in limitless places. I can choose to work for a company that I really want to develop my skills at and NOT be forced to move.
2. After 10 years in engineering, I realized that there's a rather low ceiling (although luckily a high floor) and I was not putting any money into savings (and yes, I drove a 10+ year old car and barely ate out). It was a dead end: I was never going replenish savings after emergencies let alone save for a home to live in.
3. I wanted to be more entrepreneurial - engineers work at big companies with a lot of expensive capital equipment. I tried other ways and at one point had a team of 4 and contracted with those big companies. I didn't like the future that would have brought.

You wanna message people, try doing it and the platform will tell you how to do it while giving you a warning point and suspending your account at the same time !
