Okay, so if you start in your early 20s, you might make it by the time you are in your 50s. We can also use some hours over the weekend. This sounds like a totally doable thing
Itβs also way more doable if you quit your current job and find another career that will not only encourage training in these areas, but financially compensate you for it, too.
What are we waiting for??!?!
β¦and just like that, another dickhead cop is created.
I guess joining the military may help. Especially since one can get a lot of training with guns there.
As much as I would like to attempt, my chances are close to none because of low vision.
Now that would be an interesting movie. You have a guy who really loved action hero movies as a kid and spent his life honing those skills. Not because he really wants to kill anyone, but just because it's fun. He spends his professional career as a mundane office worker until one day a group of terrorists take over his office building and plan on killing everyone inside. He has to fight his way through multiple floors of trained killers to get to the top so he can take down the chief bad guy, The Raid/Judge Dredd style. Realistically, he would definitely die within like 2 minutes from getting shot in the back of the head, but it's still a fun setup for an "unlikely hero" action movie.
He's a sysadmin and he doesn't do downtime
This used to be one my daydreams as a teenager. Except in real life, I couldn't consistently train like I wanted.
After reading Atomic Habits by James clear last year - I realized how much I could have improved during those years had I kept at it.
But just like you said everything can be ended anytime with a single gun shot or some quick stabs from the back.
