I'm at a point in my life where I need to see what it is that I want to do (career wise) and get crackin on it! I've been employed with my current employer for 10 yrs this May.YIKES! When I got hired, it was my 2nd semester at CSM (also my last haha), I was a teenager, I was broke, and ANY job wouldve done. Luckily, I was hired by a great company and I've been here every since!
When talking about careers with a friend at my HS Reunion, he expressed how much he hates his job. He even joked that I probably got my job because of Affirmative Action (haha jerk!) He asked how I felt bout mine, and i thought about it, and I told him "I was content!" It was just weird cause believe it or not, I've never really thought about it. My job was perfect for me at the time. I had a flexible schedule, my boss was cool and let me take whatever days off I wanted. I would come to work so hungover with only a couple hours of sleep dragging and it would be nothing.
But now, I'm older. My sister asked me what my dream job would be, and I really couldnt answer her! I told her I wanted to open up a bakery, but funny thing is, I dont even like baking! LOL! When I was younger, I wanted to be a news reporter. Sophmore year, I wanted to be an accountant, Senior year, I wanted to teach. Now, I cant think of anything. . . how sad! I dont expect to be at the Bank for the rest of my life (i hope) But I have no clue what steps to take, to further my path towards my dream career.
I was thinking about taking night classes to get the mojo flowing, but I just dont know. And I got scared because I just realized, I'm finally growing up!
good for u tate! its never too late to get crackin on a career, taking classes could help u see ur options ;) good luck!
