I’m a long time banker, having started in the business at sixteen as a co-op student filing checks at a bank after school. I worked 26 years at two different banks, but after a year in 2004 of life changing tragedy it was time to make a decision.
Scary as it was, walking away from a long career was the best thing I ever did. Now I’ve finished grad school and worked in a library – and enjoyed every minute of it all. But the economy being what it is I probably graduated at the wrong time. Communities everywhere around me are cutting positions in libraries. Some are even closing their libraries down. And the reality is that if I want to work – and I do – that I’m going to have to find something in my old line of work.
Stay tuned and read all about it. Meanwhile, as I search for work you can read about my every day life at home with the sheltie Katie as we adventure our way through life!
Congratulations Dawn. It is the wise person who realizes that life is to be lived doing what makes your heart sing, whether it’s banking, writing, going to school or ……..? I always knew you were a smart girl. You were and are one of my favorite people. Follow your heart! Barb
