I write as I listen to Miley Cyrus...by choice. I think I might have to see her movie this weekend. I know, I'm a horrid person.
So since I told my boss this morning, it is official. Law degree in hand, I'm heading into a competitive industry that just calls my name. I accepted an offer and signed papers to work for the Investment Gurus downtown. I have some financial tests to take before I move into the corner office (jk) and they are ever so kindly sponsoring me. Words cannot describe how excited I am. As my new boss so accurately said it, jump in the cold pool and stop putting your toe in while sitting along the side.
It occurred to me that a lot of people around me are choosing to follow their dreams, even in a hazardous market. Satan has some prospects which would blend his computer tech with his true passion, cars. It basically sounds perfect for him and if all works out he can make money doing the things he loves. Devil'sAdvocate took a risk and went back to school so she could make a career doing something she loves and not something that just "pays the bills". Another friend is looking for a job that incorporates her hobby. I hope we all can be brave and make it happen for us. It is ultimately up to us as individuals to find our way and work hard doing it.
Drinks tonight with the lovely ladies of my office. It will be fun. I will really miss my coworkers and our office environment.
yes!! yes yes! like this one. it is the time to pursue what you really want. this year has brought me back to working on my ultimate life goal as well. gonna be a good year.
ReplyDeleteHell yes. Way to grab life by the balls. I like it when I hear that friends are pursuing what they really want to do rather than dragging ass in a dead-end job that makes them miserable....even if that dream job currently has no prospective openings (thanks, CA). IT WILL HAPPEN! way to go Jenny!
