Speaking Honestly,,,,

 

I wanted to become  a cricketer from my childhood...but due to various reasons i was not able to proceed but passion for cricket never died and i want to be part of it somehow...even after coming to US for MS..I kept playing cricket and at same time i love umpiring as well... I knew I cannot be a cricketer anymore but wanted to pursue my umpiring career.... So I started working towards becoming ICC Certified Cricket Umpire and been umpiring local leagues and doing certification along with my IT JOB....

Took me 3 years to be come certified ICC Cricket Umpire in Americas.... so yes..I can officiate any ICC cricket game any where in the world if chance comes to me ( I was doing 4th umpire duties for CPL games that happened in FL ,Now i am working to get ceritifed with England Cricket Board as well )

No matter the amount of $$ i make /hour with my IT job I don't feel any thing but If I officiate a local league 40 over game for 8 hours in blazing sun  and earn $130... I feel like i made a Billion Dollars that day..not sure why or how

 

but truely that makes me happy .... but Umpiring cannot be a career in USA... but atleast I am enjoying the passion...( That all being said an understanding family is the KEY in all of this  )

Hats off bhayya....hope me and many more can be like u...

I dont feel stuck in my IT job. edo post someone mentioned, kotha tech vaste inni days manam pettina time n effort waste kadha ani. I dont feel so. you will gain enough experience to learn and work on new technologies everytime. ninnu nuvu update cheskuntu undali, i take it as a challenge. 

do I feel stuck in my job? No. if given a chance and enough money, will i retire today? YES!

planning bhayya anthe, start planning for retirement in early 40s, there are millions of websites which guide you to do so.

my policy is to enjoy what I do, update myself with new techs and tools, save a lot (invest in vanguard mutual funds, target funds etc.,), pursue my passions in weekends, (i dont get exhuasted going for offroading on a weekend in scorching heat as it is my passion) and RETIRE EARLY with enough money.

At the age of 10+ I wanted to become a cricketer

At the age of 15 I wanted to become a doctor

At the age of 21 I i graduated in mechanical engineering

At the age of 27 I joined as a Software engineer in a MNC.

Final verdict this s/w job gave me money, properties , bank balance and what not. I'm happy with it. So no regrets.
