Let the DIALOGUE Begin!

Apples to Oranges


So. I received the paperwork from EDD so it's time for me to begin my "career" search. Notice how I did NOT call it a JOB search, because I don't want another JOB. I am ready for a CAREER. A meaningful, purposeful, life impacting, CAREER.

Where do I begin?

Here's my CAREER wish list:

WANT:
Allows me to interact with people
Allows me to provide a service that will benefit others
Allows me to help those in need
Allows me to comfortably take care of my family
Allows me to have quality time with my family
Provides great medical, dental, vision benefits
Allows me to work with like-minded co-workers
Close to my home with occasional travel
Allows me to teach
Allows me to write
Allows me to sing
Allows me to express my creativity

Do NOT Want:
To be trapped in a cubicle
Anything that has to to with technology (no more computers!)
A Sales position (I'm tired of making others rich while I struggle to make ends meet)

So there you have it folks! Everything that I want to do in my next career is everything that I've never done before.

And what I've done before, I absolutely NEVER want to do again.

So you see, this apple needs to be transformed into an orange. Can it be done? By "man's" standards...no. By God's standards...Absopotivilutely!!!

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Have you ever switched careers completely?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
