Well, it's been well over a year since I've posted anything. Since then, I've begun full-time employment, went to Vegas for the first time, and gotten engaged to my girlfriend of 3 and a half years. I'm just one month away from completing my first year. It's nice having a job, but I'm still in pursuit of something that will bring me fulfillment at the end of the day.
That said, it's great to have a secure job, especially in today's economy. At the same time, it's frustrating settling for a career I'm not passionate about. Sadly, I can't expect much in this economic situation, degree or not. Working full-time is a drag, only because when I come home I'm in no mood to do more work. But, that's exactly what has to be done in order to advance my career aspirations. The drive just hasn't been there, but I'm working on getting it back...
I've been working on something that'll hopefully land me a position that's more in-line with my passions and overall skill set. If it doesn't, then I plan on cranking up my search for a new company. My biggest worry is getting stuck in South Bend for the rest of my life. This place is fine, but it's not where I want to live for the next 10, 15, or 20 years. There's just so much more to see in the world.
Well, here's hoping.
