For the longest time when I was younger, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe it was growing up watching too much Matlock, I'm not sure. When I got older though, I realized how much school I would have to go through. So I had to scratch that idea.
As I entered college I still had no clear cut dream profession. My job skills up to that point had been pizza maker, car washer, and store clerk. I also had a very short lived telemarketing job...scratch sales.
I did however work for a very large toy store and after working there for a while, I began handling HR duties, like interviews. I can still remember one of the applicants asking my age...lol!! I am pretty sure I was in college by then but I have always looked much younger than I am.
So, while in college and still unsure of my plan, I decided to go for the ol' Bachelor in Business Administration (double major in Management and Marketing). I figured that would have plenty of job options. ;) Well, my first job after college was in Human Resources, conducting interviews, going to job fairs, and pretty much handling anything administrative. After a couple years, I moved over to the client side, got my insurance license, and became an Account Manager in Employee Benefits. Basically doing the same HR duties but now for the client...open enrollments, marketing their plans, etc.
Five years after college I had our daughter and decided to stay home. Fast forward almost 8 years, and here we are.
So, looking back at what I have done in past jobs and who I am today, I'm not sure what my dream job would be exactly, but I know it would have to be a job working with and helping people. I enjoy talking with people (I loved those job fairs!!!) and I like to help others (one reason I love to blog).
...and if I couldn't have that. I'd have to settle for professional cruise ship sailing. Not sure if that is a "job" but sounds good to me! ;)
