DST Love:
Is your aunt operating in Chicago? If so, can you give me contact information to her fitness center? Feel free to email me privately, if you'd rather not broadcast her info. Thanks!
On the topic: This is my first job in "corporate America," and I have to say that while I don't agree with the politics and layers of garbage one has to go through to get the job done, I REALLY dig the compensation! Most of my professional life has been spent in the nonprofit world, where politics and money were still the end all/be all, just dressed up differently. I do miss doing issue advocacy public relations the most, but I don't miss not having much in the way of benefits or vacation to show for the 10-12-hour days (on the regular)!!
I'm okay with my job now, knowing that I WILL be in business for myself and/or working in another career within the next few years, so I'm enjoying/learning what I can now. I consider myself an independent contractor whose renting herself out for a period of time to this particular company. When I get good and ready, I'll be renting myself out somewhere else or reserving my talents for my own venture.
