Maybe next time...
I never realized this while going to school, but real life is kind of boring. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton this past June. It took me a while to graduate from college and now here I am. After graduation, I remained working at Wamu for couple of weeks. For the past 6 years of my life, I was working at Wamu. I kind of wonder why I stayed there so long sometimes.
Was it because of the money? Not really... I started out at $8.50 an hour at wamu. Which was decent at the time? By the time I left wamu it ended being 13.00 an hour. It ended up being decent. Plus I had supervisor function at the job. Thinking back now, I think I could have made more money if looked for an office job working. Oh wells...
Was it because of my coworkers? To me, I think my coworkers were really nice people to work with. However, I never really felt a connection. I just went to work to work and then went home. I did have some good moments though. Sometimes I think the reason I didn't hang out with them is because they live far. Then again, my college friends live far and I still hang out with them.
Was it because of the convenience? This is probably the number one reason. I didn't want to move and look for another job. Plus I was settling for what I already had. I always told myself this is just temporary and won't be forever. Thankfully, it ended up being true.
I think "changes" are a big factor in determining what actions you’re going to take. You’re always given a choice in life. So... never be afraid of taking risk or looking for better opportunities. Always keep on growing...
Good luck in Texas, Eric!
