I'm a writer. Have laptop will travel. Will write for food, Rent, clothes, and goodies, too.
How did I get here? I followed what I was interested in.
I also had a goal ... which was to see my name in print, as the person having written a particular story.
Maybe that was a dumb goal, but I sure was thrilled the first time I saw a published article with my name under the title.
I now make a living writing, which is what I love.
Along the way, I found interesting people, events and elements to write about, which have been bonuses.
My advice: Figure out WHY you like doing what you do. Never mind if the reason seems dumb. You don't have to confess to it.
Knowing the why will set you on your path.
Also, there's no harm in following more than one path - you'll get to where you're supposed to be as long as you keep pushing the little cars forward. No bit of learning ever goes to waste. I was a word processing temp for years, which kept a roof over my head and food on the table while I figured out next steps or waited out lousy economies. I still use much of what I learned at those little dinky jobs today.
Hope this helped, Maddy0 -
High Risk Labor and Delivery RN for 13 1/2 years but for the past two years I've been working as a Business Analyst for a small software company who develops and manufactures a Nursecall system for use in hospitals. I do all the testing of the software, document bugs and assign to the developers, and write all the user documentation for our product, as well as write user guides for 3rd party integrations.
Kind of boring but I don't have to work weekends or nights anymore.0 -

I'm an Office Manager. I really like it because I can find work pretty much anywhere, the pay is decent, and stress is low. Bookkeeping and office work is great because you can be full time, part time, or even work from home if you'd like. I've always been good with numbers and solving problems. It's a good fit for me.
