I hit a career wall today


pstall

Recommended Posts

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?

I want to get into Sports Talk, if you couldn't tell.

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.

I'm trying to network more with this one group. They sponsor and market for MLB. Ahh. If I can get in over there. Would be be u ta ful. I would more or less get paid to watch MLB and just work on those relationships.

Could get the creative itch scratched and the business side covered as well.

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.

I believe I would do that for free.

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.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
