Don't get me wrong though.....this was not a career path I was intending to follow coming out of college..... come to think of it.....I would have never seen any of this coming. Creating designs for t-shirts....working one on one with customers...managing a storefront. Yea didn't see it coming. No, I was fully prepared to join the traditional workforce and earn a living with a respectable nine to fiver. Things sometimes just turn out differently I guess. And screenprinting would have been on the top of my list of jobs I would have died to do had I started out with some entry level position in a large corp.....
With that in mind...I feel having the right opportunity is definitely key to finding that perfect job (case in point; myself) ...however, some might never get it. Maybe you just have to think outside the box to create your own opportunity...I don't know. But what I do know is...everyone has a story with what they do. You might have a job just because...shit....there aren't any other jobs.... You may have a job that gets you by... but cha-chings in the dough. Maybe a place you've been working for a long time that doesn't pay much, but you're loyal as heck...though in the end you dream of that bookstore you've been dying to open up. Bar? Ballet studio??.......drive-thru porn shop??? Whatever the case may be....fill me in.......what do you do, and what do you WANT to do... on the real.... put it all out on the table.. I'm interested in the entrepreneurial spirits we have among us... and the visions that drive those spirits.
I always thought I was going to work the 9-5, cause thats what normal people do. But I knew it wasnt for me. It took me 5 years to realize what I was doing wasnt true to my heart. My passion was always creating things. I have a knack at remembering events and capturing memories through photos was perfect for me. Capturing and sharing memories. Photography, my DREAM, my LOVE.
ReplyDeleteDream big, plan well, work hard, smile always, and good things will happen.
and yes,
ReplyDeleteI could and would quit my day job in a moments notice.
I quit three weeks ago at the drop of a dime. Not that I didn't like the job but it just wasn't in line with what I want to do with my end goals...per se. Though, I did brush up on a bunch on and learn some new skills that I will definitely bring with me as I make my next moves.
