Jobs

I have had less than a handful of real jobs in my entire life. I have plenty of babysitting that I have done, but in terms of real, time clock, boss to report to jobs, I can only recall maybe 4.

I had my fun stint at the local sporting goods store in highschool. this was a fun spot to catch up on gossip on the weekends and get a discount on all the new stuff that came out that I NEEDED. And of course, there were plenty of boys that worked there that were fun to hang out with.

I also had a sort of position at the gym during high school. I worked in the child care room, I also had some shifts to help people use the equipment, and operate the tanning beds. Anyone who knows me, knows this was seriously a joke job.. but I had a blast doing it.. or not doing it.

Then there was the restaurant/ice cream shop. This is where I learned the most. The most about who I was and who I wanted to be in the real world. I came and went all through high school, college and then some adult life. I quickly realized that I wasnt going to be in the restaurant industry and left to come to where I am now... Insurance..

If I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, working in insurance was the furthest thing from my goals. It still is for that matter.

I have gotten to have a glimpse of the medical side of things, which I love. I do not love blood and needles, so this job gives me the opportunity to learn and develop without having to deal with my fears.

I would LOVE to work at a hospital or doctors office. I am so intrigued in the medical field, and LOVE dealing with people. I just cannot deal with blood and needles. I have issues I know.

My current job situation is bleek. I need to get myself into something new before I am completely in a deep hole and figthing tooth and nail to get out of here.

Its a work in progress, but how does one, with 2 young school aged children find a decent paying job that allows for the flexibility of being a parent? Realistically speaking-there isnt one.

Its my mission to find something...
