Two weeks from today, I will be officially unemployeed.
Terrified? Yup. Excited? Abso-freakin-lutely.
I'm leaving my 1st career job out of college, where I've
worked for 2 years, to persue one of my dreams. In August, I will be joining
AmeriCorps to work with Habitat for Humanity. Quitting a long-term, well-paying
marketing position with an established marketing agency for a 12-month job with a poverty-level income? Yup, I did that. Some
think I've lost my mind, others think it's awesome (and I'm with them).
Regardless, I'm taking a leap of faith for an opportunity I've considered since
high school. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I guess 'they' were right when they say life isn't all about the money. And as if this new job isn't cool enough, it will cut my communte in half!
And it gets better... Between jobs, I'm going on vacation
for a week to the beach with my family. All while training for the Baltimore
half-marathon and the Tough Mudder later this year.
Major change, relaxation and new challenges- couldn't ask
for a much better way to take advantage of the last full month of summer.
What
are your exciting plans to close out this summer? Don't let it slip
away!
