DREAM JOBS AND MAJOR CAREER DECISIONS

While getting ready this morning, between making oatmeal and tweezing my ear hair, I was thinking about what I wanted to blog about today.

Since a lot of my attention has been put towards getting ready to see a career counselor in a few weeks, I thought, why not write about that.

I am hoping this career counselor will help me figure out which direction I’ll be steering my career. I’d like to see if I am on the right track in achieving what my goals…well actually, I need some help narrowing down my goals and deciding what they actually are.

I am almost 31 years old – on Feb. 3rd - and I feel the need to end the habitual “Slacker Slattery" ways and decide which direction I want to take my career. I feel like I am back picking undergrad colleges and making a decision that will determine what I will do for the rest of my life. And since that decision really didn’t decide “everything” I am doing now, I know that isn’t true, but this is a crossroads of sorts for me and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

One of the tasks I was asked to complete in the introduction paper work, from the career counselor, was to make a list of “dream” jobs/what my "dream" career would be. Here is my stab at it. I would enjoy hearing what you think of my list about what your dream job is…so leave comments!
(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

Lots of ideas, hopefully I can narrow my list down and achieve great things in the future, whatever they may be.
