You know, I was up until 1am trying to update my website. A few nights I’ve just been up and not tired at all. I think I tried out 3-4 different ones and didn’t like any of them and I was trying to make edits and I need to save that for another day and not late at night lol.

But on to the point of this post, lol. I woke up the other day with the thought about working in corporate America. Like what is the end goal when or if you are able to retire? Is it climbing all the way up the corporate latter until you sit at the top? Is it just being comfortable where you are until it’s time to retire? I’ve always thought the point is to work hard, keep being promoted until you’re hit the top management position and then retire.

During my work experiences, I’ve found myself stuck in positions that don’t offer a place to move up or if there is, it is not something I am interested in so then I need to move on to the next company or career path. I’ve had it set in my mind from an early age to be my own boss, have my own business and even got my degree in Entrepreneurial Studies but reality set I as I graduated. I had a plan with no action on how to get there so then I had no choice but to enter into the corporate space which has been an absolute nightmare. I have stories, so many.

So I’ve been trying to find out where I’m supposed to be going in this career of mine. Am I striving for that top management spot until retirement? Do I need to switch careers? Do I need to step out on faith and attempt working for myself? Just so many questions that I don’t have the answers to now. I know that the goal now is to continue bringing in income to support my family and also to have health/dental insurance. Hopefully I can choose my path soon.
