Like I said in my last post - 2010 will be a great year. I just got a HUGE promotion just handed to me on a silver platter. I am starting out as the assistant business manager for a little bit and then after the 1st year I will be a business manager on job sites, and the positions jsut keep moving up every couple years or so. And i can tell you what, people who are at the 20 year mark make beaucoup bucks! And here's the kicker - they pay for all my school. :)
So after I get trained here in the district office, I will be moved around to the jobsites as needed, so we will be moving alot, but with places like Hawaii and British Columbia (among others)...no complaints here! OH!! and theres a chance that I could get sent to one of our Canada jobs, because since I speak French, Ive been doing the document translation here in the district office, they said that is a good skill with this company.
I am so overwhelmed with happiness that I am totally out of dead-end jobs! I would be so stupid to not have taken this, as i have no degree and all my experience was self taught. Silver platter indeed!
I am quite flattered, and soooooo thankful that God has placed this opportunity in front of me. I have been praying for something to come along, amazing what a little patience with the Lord does... It feels SOOOOOO good to finally get recognized for my skills!! That I can do waaay more than spreadsheets. Its funny, because I actually had two opportunities ahead of me, the first that came up was to get moved up to the IT and web design staff, but the right people weren't there at the right time and this business management postition fell into place right as we were trying to discuss the IT thing. I FINALLY HAVE A CAREER!!
I was going to start school anyways this summer and set a career path as a Doctor of Radiology...mainly because I am sooo tired of being the breadwinner, but only able to bring a dinner roll home because of no degree. Dont get me wrong, I would really enjoy med school, however I was doing it more for the money. And not to mention the prospect of it, I couldnt wrap my head around really. There was no passion behind it, but that was the plan. And then this came in to play...almost too easily. Everything just fell into place, and I am a firm believer that when things just happen like that...somebody upstairs is trying to tell you something.
I never went to college in the first place because, dammit, i want to do and be everything! I still do. However, one can only do so many things in a lifetime..and now i've got a chance to go for one thing.
I cant tell you how excited i am..although im sure you can probably guess.
