The way I see my job is a lot like I viewed basic training- something I have to endure to get what I want. I bust my ass all day (and get bored a lot), get stressed out a lot, and don't have the enjoyment of shooting large caliber weapons. Other than that last one, it's the same goal. Money. Money to help pay for school whenever I get enough to go back and finish. That is my main dream/goal- to finish my degree and teach. Not just teach; but to teach English Lit. Granted the par scale in Mobile sucks for educators, but I was born her and I know what the hell happens to kids gone wrong (Can anyone else say CoffeeHouse) and gods willing- I will die here (in another few centuries).
So, that's why I am doing this job- to get where I want to be...even if it drains all of my time (5 A.M. till 7:30 P.M.) and energy. I just have to keep reminding myself as to why I am doing it and that nothing lasts forever...except hope.
