Dream Job

As children, most of us have an idea of what we want to be when we grow up. Almost every child wants to be a Doctor, or a Nurse, or a Teacher, etc. As a child myself, I don't recall having a dream job in mind. I am a 37-year old single mother of two, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. This assignment, however, gave me something to think about. What is a dream job anyway? To figure out what my particular dream job is, I accessed myself for the things that I like to do what makes me feel energized. What am I good at? What would I like to do?

I have been told by many that I would do well in Sales, but that is not the route I would choose for myself. However, I do like people and have always been interested in Marketing, which is my area of concentration at Wilmington University.

I could incorporate everything that I love to do in this position. I've been called the "Social Director" by colleagues and a "Social Butterfly" by friends. I love to be active and moving around and I love working with and helping people. I would be surrounded by stimuli that fuels me, builds me and make me the happiest I could possibly be.
