New Career Idea

I have never been able to tell anyone what my passion is!!! You know how some people just love to miss around with computers or they couldn't live without golf. The only thing I can really say that about are probably movies and love. So give me a good romantic-comedy and I'm good to go. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of job opportunity for a movie-buff!!! **Mores the Pity**

So what to do for a career???

Well the next best thing would be to take the combination of my likes and best personality traits and try to come up with a career that matches them!!! Not being able to define my passion has been just as hard as not being able to figure out which personality traits can be funnelled into a lucritive and enjoyable job. Recently, my mother asked me to do the decorations for our larger than normal Thanksgiving. I have coordinated events before and had the most fun being creative.

LIGHT BULB!!!!

With my ability to be creative, organized and need for human contact during work...I think I have found my calling!!!!!! AS....

An Event Planner...now before you get too excited I know there is more to event planning than the glamourous side!!! This kind of job sucks if you absolutely have to have your weekends cause guess when people have events!!! DUH...weekends. Also this kind of career is crazy if your not the boss...even if your the boss your dealing with bitch clients, annoying staff and exhausting hours!!!

But...I'm excited about my career choice!!! At least for TODAY!!!

Hobby and Career

The people who are fortunate enough to have their career be their hobby are very fortunate indeed. I wonder if it's better to be only fond of your hobby as opposed to passionate. I've found the ones that are the most passionate about their persuates can be tormented by them. But if you can just enjoy what you do it makes it easy to go to work.

There should be another name for a job that is a hobby, because it definitely should not be considered WORK. The word itself just does not imbibe a warm fuzzy feeling. You know.

What I have learned is that if you are going to spend most, and I do mean most, of your day away from your loved ones and comfort of your home you better at the very least like what you do. So therefore if you can't have your hobby be your career for the love of all that is holy find something that interest you and you don't HATE doing. NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S NOT GOOD MONEY!!! : )

Slipping Friends

Communication is incredibly hard!!!!

Communication should be easy...you would think with all the advances in technology that you would talk to friends and family on a regular basis.

It's true that technology has made this huge world seem a little bit smaller. You can keep in touch with someone all the way across the globe with just a quick e-mail. The problem with staying in touch with people has nothing to do with the technology...it's the people themselves.

It's incredible how much of LIFE gets in the way of LIFE!!! I thought when I moved back home after college I would have so much more time to hang out with the people that I haven't been able to see because I went to college in Rock Hill, SC. But the truth is I talk to barely any of the people I went to college with and I hardly speak to any of my other friends that are actually in Charleston. I don't know if it's because we're all growing up and have a lot going on or if it's because I haven't been putting in enough effort.

I chatted to my best friends about this situation and I'm pretty sure none of us have been doing the best job. The three of us do the best we can...but it's not easy!!!
