I hit a career wall today

Not sure what happened but maybe a culmination of things. I hit a wall. My job is EXTREMELY challenging and on one hand I like it.

But, so many other passions are gnawing at me. From writing screen plays to coaching to going into radio to working for a think tank. At times there are so many things I love and are pretty good at and can't decide.

I had a one on one with my boss and while she was doing her job I felt like I was 14 yrs old after I got finished.

Maybe I need a spring break road trip.

I hit a career wall today to. Well, actually I bumped into the wall at work when I wasn't watching where I was going. :)

Fwiw, I feel that way a lot. But until my son graduates college, I am not going anywhere. But when he does, I want to get a job with the Park service, even if its a volunteer job.

I have an aunt and uncle who did that. Retired early, and now travel the country as wardens for various parks.

Passion vs. Responsibility...I think you could sum up a large portion of life in that way.

Good luck, brotha.

Just on curiosity, what would you go into radio for? Talk show or disc jock? And what kind of show, either genre or topic?

Podcast.

Check out www.libsyn.com and www.podcastdirectory.com or www.podcastalley.com in order to get started. After that, it all depends on being able to build an audience and standing out from the masses. Also, check out www.sportsjournalists.com for some decent starting points on breaking into sports talk and the occasional good contact to use.

At least, that's how I started on it.

Four words apply.

Show me the money.

The job is an end to a means, only.

Unless you're the owner of the company, that's it.

yeah I have also kinda of hit a wall, actually I am just bored. I stay within the top 20 in sales in the state of Virginia, so I know my job is safe, but I just feel like it has all become to routine and want to go into something more fulfilling.

That sounds like fun.

I was thinking about moving up to Pennsylvania or Virginia, and getting a job at one of the national military parks if they will pay me, or volunteering at one of the local ones if they wont pay me.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
