Real World, Here I Come!
So landing a job so great for me finally has definitely shocked me. And I'm scared about all the typical things that people starting their first Monday-Friday full time, no bullshit job seem to be afraid of. It took about 2 days for the amazement that I got the job to set it. I thought I would get it but I've waited for so long and people who know me know that I don't have the best of luck.
Anyways, I'm scared of knowing that for the rest of my working career I will probably be working Monday-Friday from about 8:30 to 5:30. A couple of my friends say that they pretty much work, gym, make dinner, watch a little tv and then go to bed. That kind of scares me. I don't want my life to become like that. I have one life to live and I don't want to waste 5 days a week. Another thing that's scary is that I can't just request time off and go on trips, etc. I really want to travel. I get 10 vacation days a year.
This job is exactly the sort of thing I wanted and I'm very excited about it... except one thing. The first year is extremely hard. The people that I interviewed with said that for about a year I won't really enjoy it and wonder if I'm doing the right thing and if I want to be there. The thing is, it pays really well and after the first year I'll be making more money and doing less work. The first year is about establishing my clients. The pay is too hard to explain on here but it's commission and based pay. Basically if I'm not making commission, I'm probably not doing my job right or well and won't be lasting long. The thing about me is that I don't think this will be a problem. I'm a hard worker, someone that's easily trained, the training here sounds like it'll be excellent. I'm used to sales, I love challenges.
I'm just worried about the hating it for a year part. I wonder how much I will hate it, how hard it will be. My goal is that, no matter what, I will last a year and a half. No matter how hard things are, how much they suck, I will wait it out and see if they get better.
I am really looking forward to making the most money I've ever made. There is someone I know that is 30, I think she started in this position when she was around 24ish and she is so successful, great at her job, the breadwinner, owns a fantastic house, and doesn't seem to work that much. She seems to really enjoy the job. That's where I want to be, that's what I see for my future. Her mom and sister also do this job and they have said that they make more money than they can spend are doing all kinds of investing. This is what I want. So I will tough it out. Hang in there. Get by. It's what I'm used to.
