Strength

I have the strength, with God at the helm, to jump companies today, and earn more while learning about different topics as I conduct further research.  This is the coolest way to not only hone my skills, but gain education at the same time.  I learned today, that my field of work in a survey format is totally rocking.  In addition, doing surveys for the music industry are the highest paid options to date.  It's fun when I can put on my headphones, and go for it.  Honestly, there is no batter way to earn while learning more about different styles of music, and writing my reviews at the same time.

My best friend graduated with me from UH Main and our fields are linked.  She is in Maketing, and I in Market Research.  I wish my degree reflected this.  In a way, it kind of has.  I was able to use marketing skills while teaching, to put myself out there, and gain students.  I began teaching while in high school, and continued working in college and away from campus.  Granted, back then, it was volunteer work, but this counts on my resume too, should I revisit the field again.  I tutored privately, and while living in Spring, I juggled a tutoring job with educational retail.  Both of my bosses are still working quite hard as educational professionals, and I am proud to have them in my work profiles.

Today, everything is online.  However, I can still communicate with clients and colleagues in market research company chat forums.  Working from home allows me to have flexibility in family time and time with friends.  The companies know me well, and they know this is the best way to get things done, and take time off if I need to.  Remoting in is easy.  And if I am away, I can easily access my accounts, and take care of business.  When Mom died, I took bereavement leave, and had co workers that gave me the best support I could ask for.

Today I am still growing.  And I love the fact that in times of hardship, I learn more than the average person.  The toughest part of my job is being patient when my server is slow, or my connection drops while working.  Doing a reboot may mean the loss of an assignment, but these things happen.

I stay strong, and keep moving forward.
