Welcome to the wide world of bra’s, panties, famous super models, and oh yeah, inconsistent hours based solely on if you get credit card, harassment from management, high expectations with little compensation, and did I mention credit cards? You think it’s bad walking in and getting bamboozled by us lowly associates over credit cards? Try having someone yelling in your ear over how many credit cards we don’t have for the segment or why your not asking a customer multiple time weather they have the Angels Card or not. Or how about the fact when you get a raise, it’s usually only 10 cent. And that’s only if your ranked as a 1. Anything less and you get nothing. The lack of training, the “don’t care” attitude from cooperation, the manager harassment, please, do not work for Victoria’s Secret. You will regret it.

I’ve always been told I had good work ethic. That whatever I’m told to do, I do it. I put my effort behind it and get it done. Most are tangible jobs that I don’t have to think about doing, and I just do it. The problem with this is that it lacks much passion. It creates a sense of purpose but doesn’t fulfill my desires. The problem with this is that I have no idea what those might be. I’ve talked with career consolers, I’ve studied different things yet I still haven’t the slightest idea as to what interests me. The frustration is innate. And the sense of self-worth I feel tends to falter. Why must everyone have this illusion that we should all know exactly what we want to do with our lives? That without it we’re not sensible or intelligent? That our lives aren’t worth the same as those that do? Life isn’t meant to be planned. Sure we might have a path, but whose to say we should stay on it? In fact, life will do everything in it’s power to knock us from this place. But whose to say that’s a bad thing? It’s not an easy thing, and it might not always be a wise thing, but it sure as hell is life’s thing. If we follow the paths that we have planned, we will met our goals. Does that mean our original goals? No. Of course not. Exploration is the key, and your path is nothing but a nod in the general direction. The only question left is where to start.
