Hello there =)

Happy Spring!!  The snow is melting, the sun is shining longer.  Plants are starting to come back to life and everything feels energized again!  I am beyond excited.  Even though autumn is my favorite season, I love the freshness of spring.  It is almost comparable to the crunch of fall leaves under foot.  Almost.

I thought with the newness of the season upon us, List 12 would be a great time to think about fresh starts.  If you could start a new job or had the time & means to train for a new career, what would it be?

Jobs I Would Be Interested In

52 Lists 2015 – List 12

1. Graphic Designer – Since I started this blog I’ve become WAY more interested in taking pictures, editing them and making my own graphics.  I get a little stuck sometimes and can’t come up with anything original.  I guess that’s why it’s not my profession ;)
2. Speech Therapist – Little known fact about me, I was kicked out of business school in college.  Accounting kicked my butt =( After a summer of re-taking accounting (and $1100 later..) I decided it’d be really cool to be a speech teacher in school.  I jumped into a major that I thought would lead me to being a Speech Therapist.  Found out a year into that major, speech therapy was an entirely different department, adding at least 1 more year to my stay. No. Thank. You.
3. Web Site Creator/Designer – Heck, I kinda do it already right?  I think this one would be nice coupled with graphic designer.  Make some pretty images, slap them on your new site and away goes a happy customer.  I know it’s not really that simple, but is in my head ;)
4. Social Media Manager – If I didn’t have to manage my own social media, I think I could pull this one off.  I attended a webinar last week that was giving basic tips on how to be one and then trying to sell their course. Of course.  I got some good ideas to really amp up my own social presence but I’ll keep it at that for now.
5. Dental Hygienist – I think this would be a really satisfying job.  Sure you have to look in potentially icky mouths all day, but think of how cool it would be to see the finished clean mouth? I put this profession and window washer into the same degree of satisfaction category, which is super awesome BTW.

Three afterthoughts I had were:

• Teacher
• Massage Therapist
• Photographer

The first I had wanted to be the whole time I was growing up right until high school.  Then I fell in love with business classes and that got me no where… ;)

I attended an informational session on becoming a massage therapist back in 2006. I had my scrubs, massage table, what oils I’d use and my DBA name all picked out.  Then my boyfriend reminded me I may have to work on large, hairy men.  Ok… on to the next!

Photographer is a recent thought.  Sarah Celebrates has peaked my interest in photography and images in general.  People are visually stimulated and that intrigues me.  Could I start a photography business?  Someday, maybe.  But I’ll just keep blogging for now =)
