I didn't think I was going to want an iPad...

But I do. I think my husband is going to divorce me because of my love of Apple products.

I just, finally, talked him into my iPhone. Talked him into buying the program to train as an AppleCare Technician. Maybe I need to work for Apple specifically so I could hopefully get a discount?

A coworker of mine was telling me how the future is really going to change how we work, what we do, how we do it. I feel like I am already so far gone from working in corporate, office world.

The things I want to dabble in:

• Mac Tech (training during the week of Apr 12 - 16)
• Hunt and sell Morel Mushrooms
• Become a Social Media Strategist - fancy name for helping people with Twitter, blogs, Facebook, etc
• Develop iPhone apps
• Web Design
• Graphic Design
• Sell "miracle fruit"
• Professional blogger. I currently blog for www.cosmoradiorecap.com and this blog.
• Elance projects
• Associated Content - I love to write and research, I think this would be a great way to spend my time

And so much more... I feel like my day-to-day job as a product designer is getting in the way of doing what I really want to do. But it's a vicious cycle. I can't function without money, I can't move on without time. I am already at my max with my blogs and my full time job. My kids and husband suffer from that. So far, I am not making the money I wanted to from my blogs.

Who has suggestions? How can I burst out of this bubble I am in and make use of my interests and talents?

Back to the iPad... How can I continue my obsession with Apple products for the price they run. I feel like I can justify it if I actually take a job as an AppleCare Tech. But I am not sure I can do that from home, full time and do well.
