I'm More Suited For...

Someone that I haven't talked to in about a year commented on my new career. He said he would never have guessed I would be in this position. When I asked why he said that he said I seemed more suited for a high profile, big money big pressure kind of career. I haven't been able to shake his comment, for a few reasons...

He is right. I don't have high profile, I don't have big money and I have moderate pressure. But he is right about something else too. I loved a high profile career, I love big money, though I no longer love big pressure. I can't shake the thought that perhaps I should aim for more. It doesn't mean I'm not hoping for more, but I don't think I have been properly focused to gain the things that I do want. I am wanting more money and more responsibility. As for the "big pressure". I'm pretty sure that more pressure is not going to cripple me the way it would have a year ago.

I am going to finish my current certification (will be done at the end of March) then I am going to put myself into overdrive and put some of my own big pressure on my company to pay me more and give me more responsibility, otherwise I'm gonna start looking for a company that will.

I forgot how good ambition feels.
