I mean, right now, it's good but I wouldn't say that I LOVE it. However, it is challenging and new and exciting and different and it keeps me on my toes!

Sorry but if it's something I'm doing BECAUSE of my job, it's work! Even if that means going to a breakfast or dinner just to 'be there'. <br /><br />That kind of swayed away from the topic of your original post haha but something I've been thinking about. May have to write my own post about that if my blog ever starts working again! <br /><br />I'm so glad your job has been such a great fit for you!!

I would really love to do something with writing, whether that's editing, writing copy, working in social media for other businesses. I have this feeling, though, that I'd really like to work with a literary magazine someday. One of my co-workers wants to be an editor. He tries to convince me a lot to get my book finished so he can charge me to proofread it, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-26064480585180575022012-11-19T15:36:29.266-06:002012-11-19T15:36:29.266-06:00I love this!

But it obviously makes it so much different/better when do you love it : )<br />I'm so glad you love your job! I've worked so many random jobs over the years, too, but I definitely think that is what separates me from others and I gained knowledge and skills that are important to me from each of themCarolinehttp://sweetcarolineblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-41644133614028602462012-11-19T08:18:51.252-06:002012-11-19T08:18:51.252-06:00Good luck on your test tomorrow but I have always ...Good luck on your test tomorrow but I have always had great faith in your test taking abilities!

I love my job and I think about it a lot and really value my relationship with the kids and my friends at work, but it's still a job frankly so there are many days where I'm like ugh, and don't really feel like dealing with it haha. Today might be one of them :) <br />Good luck on the test tomorrow!!! I used to think teaching was annoying with the tests but your job is definitely WAY worse!

I know you've been doing CFA exams but have you ever touched on what specifically you do? (I may have missed it or you may, understandably, be keeping the specifics offline). I'm an accountant by training and loved my first job (sad, given it was in the tax department at one of the big 4) but gave it up to travel and live in London. Whilst I have no regrets about my time here & have enjoyed the work (business analyst, PM, credit analyst type roles at an investment bank) I do struggle to see what my career might look like when I get home.Sue @ SimonsSistaSawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709354348647064643noreply@blogger.com
