How I did it: This isn't the greatest job in the world. It's not what I got either degree to do. But you know what... I love my job. Love the people I work with and for, love what I do, love that I'm taken seriously and given a real chance to contribute... No it's not the greatest job, not the greatest pay, not something I see myself doing for long and not an industry I see myself advancing in, but right now I couldn't be happier with it. I put this goal at the bottom of my list because i thought it was something I might never achieve--or would take decades to get to. I put this below "pay off my student loans," y'all. But, I've done it. There will be a time--and maybe sooner than I'd like--when I'll need to strive to find this again. But having had it, I know what it looks like for me. It's not so much what precisely I do or what I make. It's about who I do it with and that I feel I am an important part of things.
