I went to college to be a Secondary Education English teacher. No jobs available when I graduatedā¦..at least not anything that paid even more than a part time supermarket employee (which I did for awhile while looking for something better). Or if I were willing to teach in Appalachia. Luckily, a girlfriend AND an uncle gave me a tip that the newspaper was looking for Advertising Execs. Yeah, I threw the education stuff away (so low-paying) and changed direction. Not my dream job, but it was ok. Made a lot of friends and money. (I mean, back then, the main vehicles to advertise in were the newspaper and the phone book). I stayed at the newspaper and retired at 49 when newspapers started to tank because of digital. It was a lucrative job, so I say, āClaire, give it a chance. You might be good at it and make good money. If nothing else, itās something good on your resume that you might be able to hop to some other āsales/advertisingā career. Make money in these early years. By the time you are 50+, the handwriting is on the wall and many places donāt want the AARP folks.ā
I had my Dream Job, working on Computers at a University. Yes, it was hard work sometimes, and it could be frustrating, but I absolutely loved it. And I often got to be a āHeroāā¦ āŗ
