I used to be a FedEx Ground Driver/Contractor and serviced accounts for them for about 9 years. As you can imagine I came across a multitude of people from all walks of life whether in the shipping-receiving departments, retail stores, mom & pop stores etc… After a while you build quite a rapport with these people and they begin sharing all kinds of information that you don’t even ask for. This in part because the natural thing to say is “how’s it going today?” (When you’re really in a hurry you learn not to ask that question.) Well that question triggered more responses than I have room to write, but the one thing I would hear on a very regular basis is how much they “hate their job and can’t wait to leave”. Naturally I’d ask the question, “what do you want to do?” The response, “I don’t know, I just want to get out of here!” Month after month, year after year I’d hear the same thing without anything ever being done about it. I came to the obvious conclusion they stayed in their bitter positions because they didn’t have any other place else to go or know what else to do. The people I used to run across all wanted the same general things: escape the job atmosphere, work at home, be able to earn more than they were currently earning, have the ability to take a day off if they wanted etc… Well of course, I wanted those same things! What do you want? It’s from this perspective that my journey of a career change took place. I charted a course with this in mind because I figured if I could find this ‘rare jewel’ of a career, others would be able to follow in my steps and find it as well. As outlined, the steps are disguised as work. Although none of the work is difficult, it is work none-the-less. It takes a bit of time and patience and a continuous process of keeping things in perspective. People are willing to give their jobs months and years of loyal service to provide for their families but hesitate to go the extra mile for themselves. Keep in front of you your ‘why’ when changing a career and that should give you the ‘energy’ to make it to the end.
