…picky picky…
and i’m not talking about picking your nose. hahaha. nor am I talking about being a picky eater. I’m talking about being picky about jobs.
When you don’t have a job, where is the money coming from? if you really needed the money, how picky would you be? could you afford to be picky? I guess it’s different when you’re single and living with your parents. you don’t have bills to pay because your parents would pay the bills. but how long do you want to live off your parents? don’t you want to try your hand at the real world and see how successful you’d be?
your first job matters- or so i’m told. it leads you to your future. but what if you like what you’re doing? what if you don’t mind “settling”? what if you don’t feel like you’re settling when everyone else thinks you are?
people think i’m crazy. when I tell them I don’t mind retail and i’m looking to stay, they all look at me with wide eyes and say, “but you’re smart!” No, I’m not looking to stay as a customer service representative for the rest of my life. I’m looking to advance. I’m looking to be a manager, a district manager….or something higher up? is that possible? but, I’ll need education….so the question is…where should I get this education and what should i take? heh
time to talk to my investment advisor.
I’ve decided to quit my part time job. why? because it’s not worth commuting back and forth. I like the job, but i want some me time other than the time after work. I don’t want my life to primarily consist of working. I’ll just tell them i’ve decided to go back to school/part time for something. which is true. unfortunately, they’ll ask why I’m not staying till january when the new semester begins. oh well. they don’t need to know.
my gross income is 1.9k. for a first job, I think that isn’t tooo bad…ALSO….assistant manager title sounds pretty impressive. hahaha. now, time to go get that business diploma! business management? marketing? what should i go for….any suggestions? I’d ideally go for retail management, but all the places i’ve seen for that is only full time….boourns?
