How did I come to have such and awesome career? Well I was working as an assistant teacher in special education, making less than $900.00 a month and living with my parents while I went to school. I had an overweight child who weighed close to 200 lbs (10 years old) attack me and the administration told me to "deal with it".
So I went to my class that night (geology) and was crying to my lab partner that I needed a job. She told me her boss was hiring and I went in for an interview two days later...got the job...went back to the school and promptly resigned.
It's been 9 years and countless job title add ons...and promotions...and I am still here.0 -

It seems like lots of people get stuck in desk jobs like customer service, office management, data/file organization, or feel like a puppet for corporate companies they don't really believe in. And then their dream jobs are completely different! Photography, professional cook, writers, travel blogger, event organizer, fun stuff. I always thought peopke who got stuck in the office punching in numbers & data just really liked math. I didn't know you want to be the same things I do!

My actual job - Realtor's assistant by day, cashier by night.
My dream job - Writer.
I realized the writer dream was just that. A dream. Everyone wants to be a writer. Everyone is writing. The chances of me succeeding at that are NIL. So I gave up and I focused on just making money instead of worrying about doing what I love.0 -
