I hit a career wall today

Not sure what happened but maybe a culmination of things. I hit a wall. My job is EXTREMELY challenging and on one hand I like it.

But, so many other passions are gnawing at me. From writing screen plays to coaching to going into radio to working for a think tank. At times there are so many things I love and are pretty good at and can't decide.

I had a one on one with my boss and while she was doing her job I felt like I was 14 yrs old after I got finished.

Maybe I need a spring break road trip.

I hit a career wall today to. Well, actually I bumped into the wall at work when I wasn't watching where I was going. :)

Fwiw, I feel that way a lot. But until my son graduates college, I am not going anywhere. But when he does, I want to get a job with the Park service, even if its a volunteer job.

I have an aunt and uncle who did that. Retired early, and now travel the country as wardens for various parks.

Passion vs. Responsibility...I think you could sum up a large portion of life in that way.

Good luck, brotha.

Just on curiosity, what would you go into radio for? Talk show or disc jock? And what kind of show, either genre or topic?

Podcast.

Check out www.libsyn.com and www.podcastdirectory.com or www.podcastalley.com in order to get started. After that, it all depends on being able to build an audience and standing out from the masses. Also, check out www.sportsjournalists.com for some decent starting points on breaking into sports talk and the occasional good contact to use.

At least, that's how I started on it.

Four words apply.

Show me the money.

The job is an end to a means, only.

Unless you're the owner of the company, that's it.

yeah I have also kinda of hit a wall, actually I am just bored. I stay within the top 20 in sales in the state of Virginia, so I know my job is safe, but I just feel like it has all become to routine and want to go into something more fulfilling.

That sounds like fun.

I was thinking about moving up to Pennsylvania or Virginia, and getting a job at one of the national military parks if they will pay me, or volunteering at one of the local ones if they wont pay me.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
