become known as an expert in my field

I just want to find a position at a company where I love what I’m doing everyday. That I feel like I’m making a difference and that I respect what they stand for. If that means, working for myself one day or just doing some pro bono design work for animal shelters in my spare time, that is what really matters to me. Being an expert, I don’t think is really measurable in my profession. Who’s to judge, and if I ever consider myself an expert someone should come along a knock me in the side of my over-inflated head.

This appears to have happened. The way to do it is to concentrate on the “becoming an expert” part, then the “becoming known” part follows on. I should probably have guessed that to start with, eh?

Rather than try to describe what it is, or what I am about, I will say that it helped that I was a pioneer. I brought new ways of doing very old stuff to the table. I went where the energy was. Where people were interested, and valued what I did, I put my energy. Where people were ready to undermine me, I would get bogged down.

There were some people who championed me, and thought I was “the best there was, anywhere” at what I do. I worked enough under those people to earn a stellar reputation.

What it got me was a degree of freedom in an unfree world.

I’m not quite sure what “my field” is, exactly. But when I find it, I will be an expert! :)

I was interviewed on my Master’s Paper and have been recruited for consulting positions. I still have a long way to go until I will consider myself an established expert.

Mostly for me. I saw Joshua Bell perform and it was so amazing. It’s so obvious, watching him, that he has invested his mind and body to perfecting this skill. He makes it look so effortless.The time and dedication that it must have taken to become so accomplished gave the performance a whole new meaning! If I could put in that kind of time in my chosen field, and become an expert…not for anyone else but for myself…..it would be worth all the sacrifice and hard work.

My goal is to work for the CDC as an epidemiologist. It would be great to become an expert and become well known. Everytime I get stressed with school work or tired of all the work, I remind myself of what I want…. give me a few years on this though

It’s the coolest thing when just about everyone knows you’re an expert in your profession. It makes you become highly sought after!
