Where to now?

I have coworker that asks big questions like "If you could any job in the world what would it be?" Really? Really? You're asking me this? There are so many parts to that question. Because really if I could do anything I would choose to be a writer/interior designer. But that would be if (big IF) I had the talent and connections to actually make a living. Maybe those dream jobs should stay just that and I'll take joy in designing my own house and writing for myself or my fellow blogmates.

But it asks the bigger question of what I want my career path to look like. I'm learning that it's not really about "what do you want to be when you grow up" but more "what kind of job do you want?" What do I want to get out of my job? What do I want to be proud of at the end of the day?

I love working in the non-profit world. I get to stay in contact with the world around me and keep learning about the people within it. I am surrounded by amazing people that have done amazing things. These are people that didn't let excuses get in the way. So how do I get there too? I have a whole lotta excuses ready to use. More so, I have a life style that I want to be able to live.

So does this career path trump my desire to be debt free? or is it figuring out if the chicken comes before the egg? And what is the chicken and what is the egg? Oh wow, more questions.
