This is such a perplexing question... There are individuals who could not imagine stepping away from a time clock and consistant pay check... I totally respect these people... Hats off to you! And there are those who feel a little caged by clocking in... For me, working in a cubical a few years ago for the first time was horrible! It lasted a total of 2 weeks before going into outside sales. The cubical was terrible....for me.
In this rocky economy you would think that working for a Nationally recoginized company would come with job security...it does not! And did not for me. I was constantly having to fight for my income. I also worked for small family owned companies that were both terrible and wonderful... I will not mention the terrible one but will praise the wonderful. I have worked for a family owned and opperated company...fare, honest and a great product...a breath of fresh air.
For the past 5 years I have worked under contract for My Green Home...the family owned honorable company. I had my faith renewed in an employer. I also was self employeed for the past several years as a web designer... I love the design work...but do not like being straped to the computer... After giving it a lot of thought, I decided it was time to get back into working consistently in retail... I needed to be out among the public. I set intension and started to seriously look for a position in sales where I could make a good income with a good company... I found it! I accept a position with Greathouse furniture in La Costa: a really good company, never worry about getting paid, but... Yikes! Im inside 5 days a week... The good news....not sitting at a desk idle. I love retail for the movement, the contact with people and the consistant pay check. I do not like being stuck inside a building and yet it is a great opportunity.
Job security or independence? Both? Yes, I would like both..and I do have a plan.... I will post that plan at another time.
