Note: I first drafted the below post in 2010…and never logged back in…now as we head into 2012 I am still having the same internal debate…so I thought I would share anyway!!
I am struggling with an issue and I know I am not the only one because it is ALWAYS the topic of discussion….do you do what you love/have a passion for? Or do you do what pays the bills? No sucking up rent subsidies, and WIC cereal being a stay at home parent does not count!!
The recession has been a great time for people to attempt new career paths. “Alternate Route” certification programs are popping up all over the place so that out of work or interested professionals can now attempt a teaching career.
But what if your dream job doesn’t really cut it financially? What if you are like me and like to order the caviar and expensive wine? What if you have been eyeing those Louis Vuitton shoes but know that without a sponsor buying them will result in you getting evicted? Would you still hold on to that job?
A brotha likes nice clothes, restaurants and travel…but can only afford a $2 Grey’s Papaya dog and trip to Coney Island on my current salary…please help!!!
