When I grow up I want to be a ...
I never knew the answer to this question until I spent 20 yrs. in the corporate world; Accounting, Customer Service and seven years as a Buyer. I learned that you can be really good at jobs that do not fulfill you. I always wondered how other people could go to work like cattle every day and not seem to want more from life. They were in their niche and I was not.
As a Buyer, which is always considered Operations not Sales and therefore the first $$$$ to be cut from a budget, I was downsized out of my last two jobs. I took three years off to spend with my daughter, examined multiple business opportunities and then decided to revisit my first love-reading.
Since I spend so much time at the Library, I decided I should get paid for it. When I discovered Brad Voeller's book "Accelerated Distance Learning", I knew I was on the right track.
I am eight UL courses from step one of my goal to become a Librarian. The pay "ain't" bad either.
