A Dream Job
What can be a dream job for me? In the past until this year, whatever was my current job had shown a potential to be my dream job. Why did I say that? Because at one point, I enjoyed what I was doing. But when a job starts to control your life, it cannot be called a dream job. That happened to me recently so I decided to quit.
Of course that is not the end. In 2010, I will have a job but not a regular one so I'm not expecting to receive a regular salary. I will train people, a task I have enjoyed since I started working. Before I decided to quit my current job, I thought I would train people, including my staff. Since they were scattered to the sites of different clients, I have designated Saturday as a training day. But I noticed they were used to always consider Saturday as a rest day or a day to unwind. I could not pursue my plan for a regular training day.
This 2010, I will be training people who are not yet computer literate. In other words, I will be training mostly older people. I have done that before, trained old nurses about to retire, and doctors too. The hardest part was to teach them how to use the mouse and I had only 3 days to do that because that was the time of the Y2K scare, or the Year 2000 scare, where all computer systems should be running in Windows which accommodates 4 digits for the year while the old system accommodates only 2 digits, therefore the year would become 0. The scare was that all automated machines using the old systems would no longer run, so elevators would stop, even the clocks, LOL! My old students were able to learn in three days, thanks to Solitaire, LOL. Well, I had no choice because that was the easiest way to teach how to use the mouse.
Maybe my dream job is really training people. Not only will I be training about computers next year but also about health and wellness. I will have to research a lot but I'm excited because I can help people. Perhaps when you think of helping people while achieving your goal or dream, you will always succeed, and I know I will.
