Finding a job you love
So we had a bit of a discussion this morning at work about career choices. Some people live to work, others work to live, etc. It made me think about my career path and what I'm planning to do when I grow up.
For me, I feel like my job experiences have taken me all over the place in terms of twists and turns. Some people are very focused in what they want to do. Some people know from age five that they want to be a pediatrician.
I guess for me, I didn't have that kind of focus. I always enjoyed writing, so I knew that whatever I did would involve that. But my current job as part of the marketing and communications team was not something I would have predicted for myself. Nevertheless, it's been a great ride, so far!
I love my job. It can be frustrating and stressful but it's also satisfying and rewarding. I can't say enough how much I enjoy being on a college campus. Of course, I feel passionate about Case partly because I'm an alum and my husband is too. My husband is working toward a master's degree at the business school here and our son is pretty much growing up on campus. Even though our schedules are hectic, I feel like all three of us are really lucky.
Sometimes I worry that our son isn't getting enough time with me and my husband, but other times, I think he's getting a pretty good deal out of it all. Nico is only three but he's been to a bunch of Case football and basketball games already. He likes to hang out at SpringFest and other campus events. He loves to chow down on pizza with The Observer student newspaper staff. He's fascinated by the echo of his voice in the crazy amazing business school building. Whenever there's any cool campus event happening, I try to bring him. I really like the idea of him taking part in so many enriching experiences at such a young age. And of course, I want him to appreciate the value of a college education.
