friday five 082302

Its a job version of the Friday Five!

  1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not? I’m transitioning between being a business manager for a small family-owned business into being a stay-at-home wife who does a bit of graphics and web design on the side. This business might expand in the future, as I get more well.
  2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be? Web/graphics designer. I *love* doing it. I love exploring new designs and new options for graphics. Making linkware gives me a chance to play with designs that I wouldn’t necessarily use myself. I hope that someday, I can really do these things I enjoy so much.
  3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices? My dad has done a variety of jobs, but always done them really well. He gave me the opportunity to work with him since I was 11 or 12 in the different offices and places he worked, which gave me an early work ethic and desire to always learn a variety of skills. As a close partner to him in my later years of working for our family business, this was enhanced. I enjoyed it a lot. My mom has been a homemaker for most of her life, but never was content to just sit at home - she got us kids involved a lot, and was involved in church activities and other groups close to her heart. I know this will influence me more in the future.
  4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family? Not yet. I would guess that my first decision will be between my health and having a family - because with the health status that I’m in right now, I can’t think about having a family. But if I am blessed enough in the future to have a family, I want to be able to do a job from home (web design?) so I can be with my children while they grow up.
  5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why? To me, I would say that the easiest job would be something I love. Its easy to do something you love. The hardest would be something menial and uninteresting to me. But I can find so many pieces of jobs that I would enjoy that its hard to say for sure what I would hate.

What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not?
I’m a sales manager for a company called ADP, this allows me to work from home or the office as needed.

If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
Programmer. I love code and language and I like graphics as well but programming is a lot of fun. It’s rewarding to see your product working

What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?
My mom is handicapped so she doesn’t work, my father is a carpentar and lives in East Texas. Don’t get to see him often.

Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
Yes. I chose to have my kids and a nice family. Best thing in the world that I chose to do. I put my career on hold for over five years and had both of my kids. I love them to death and it didn’t hurt to put the career on hold. Well not total hold. I still worked a bit from home when health allowed during pregnancy.

In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
The easiest job in the world is doing something you love to do, less hassle, less stress and eager to go to work. The hardest job is something you’re forced to do because of money matters or elsewise.
