I also love the area I work in right now... but I just changed my job... so I don't know... in a few years maybe I'll change the area in which I work, but not the career.0 -
I run a wholesale aquatic import business which I built from scratch with my partner & Is all run via email which I can do whilst sitting at home in my pjs, walking the dogs & going to the gym at any time of the day I like. It was pretty awesome but eventually a year in, I got bored as we live pretty rural & far away from my family and where I grew up is I felt I needed to also get a job more for the social than anything else.
I now work in the field of sensory & consumer science (food testing) I get paid to shop for food, photograph food & write about food! I also do a fair bit of admin & preparation to organise large scale food tests using naive consumers for all the big supermarkets & manufacturers and the paperwork isn't much fun but overall it's all pretty interesting. I do have rubbish days as we all do & sometimes a lot more travel & overtime than I'd like but can't complain too much as my colleagues for the most part are a lovely bunch.
Eventually I intend to be a stay at home mum which will be quite easy as whereas at the moment I work full time for someone else & manage my business too, I'll just revert to working from home and giving up my full time job. That is the plan 0 -
