I have a few contraption ideas concerning different subjects. I graduated from a four year college and have a bachelors degree in a major that does not really correlate with inventing, but I have always wanted to invent things to help people out. I’ve been having trouble around where I live to make money, because where I live there is an unemployment rate of around 12% compared to the national average of 5.9% or something like that. Anyways, I have had many jobs thus far, but unfortunately these jobs I’ve had are minimum wage jobs or jobs that are not providing much more than that. I have developed ideas at some of these jobs to invent contraptions to help common people and to help business owners. I have been wondering what my passion is and today I have figured out that it is inventing. Now, I have always wanted to invent I believe, but it has always been on the back burner, but now as I’m typing this and learning about various intventors; I really have found my passion and it’s wonderful. The problem is that I don’t know how to go about getting my ideas out there and I’m going to be very cautious about doing so. I would like a bit of help and if you are interested in helping me, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!
