Still on vacation. A lot of time to myself for me to think. I think about a lot of things. Right now, I'm thinking about how I can earn some extra money, lol (Im trying to ignite my inner entrepreneurial mojo). Who doesn't? If I lived in the industrial age, my life would be somewhat simpler... Go to school, get an education, and get a job for life. And even growing up, I was told to do the exact same thing: "You gotta go to school and get education so you can have a job and have job security and an exciting career," says my old-world parents.
Good advice, somewhat, except that in this world job security is an oxymoron. And even though I am doing well in my job and starting my career off right, I am not immune to job cuts, or being fired. My employer can slash me anytime, then what will I do? I have bills to pay... Loans to pay... Gotta eat right?
So I will also use this year to develop my "Free Agent" skills. Instead of having just one job, I will seek to have multiple ones, each one developing a certain 'skill' that I possess and would like to enhance further. Maybe one of those will lead to something big. For now, I'll just go to Barnes and Noble and do some reading. What I really want, is to have more control over my money in 2009, since I'm young, new, and just starting out with my full time job.
Maybe do some investing. I dunno. Gotta pay bills first. I would love to make enough money from my (future) side jobs so I can truly focus on my passion. I am fortunate to be working for a company that lines up with my passion. More posts to come!
Going to do some much needed chores around the apartment. By this time next year, I want to say "Going to do some much needed chores around the HOUSE!"
Then workout time, Barnes and Noble, and whatever errands I feel like running.
Peace!
