Silencio an anti-bully story

Lots of people disagree with me, mostly the ones with film festivals...but I don't think they should charge a red cent to the filmmakers  if there isn't any dang prize money.  What is up with that?  People pay money to see the shows, good or bad.  I'm griping only because it's costing me a fortune to try and get noticed.  That's all I had to say.  I'm not in a talkative mood. There's a toilet running somewhere and it's driving me nuts.  Gotta find it.  Maybe I'll write more later.  

When I graduated from school for computer programming, I had a very specific picture of what my career would look like. I would get my degree, quickly find a career, write code in a cubicle, work my way up, and make a lot of money. Most importantly, I would like doing it. Unfortunately, like a lot of careers, it didn't work out how I wanted. It took me almost a year to obtain a job, and when I did, I loathed it. I felt trapped. I mean, I like writing code, but when you are told to tear up and debug unreadable twenty year old code for hours on end, it is not a very pleasant experience. I won't name names, but I quit after three years to look for more enjoyable work.

I found a position as a receptionist to make rent while I searched for something new. The majority of the regular positions I was fit for seemed to be one in the same. Did I take up the right degree? Did I really want to work on a computer screen for the rest of my career?

A friend of mine told me I should try SEO. I was skeptical at first, but he convinced me to look into it. So I started asking about it. It looked as if a huge number of people in the line of work LOVED their career. The working environments are much more tolerable, and because there are so many out of the gate websites and web design companies, programmers have more freedom to write their own programs and consult with the one that actually created the code they are fixing.

A former classmate offered me a shot at Edigitalstudios. It was a small chicago web design company with only a handful of co-workers. I was happy with the close work environment and enthusiastic attitudes. To state my previous programming positions were depressing would be an understatement. Here, I was allowed to voice my opinion, contribute new , and [flesh them out into projects. eDigitalStudios has since expanded into a Chicago SEO company. I still am employed there currently, six years later. Its's awesome.

So I guess the lesson of the story is: Don't be caught off guard or disappointed if your career path does not end up how you wanted. Often, if you are patient, things can pan out a lot better than you thought they would. I guess another lesson of the story is: You shouldn't be scared to mix things up if you are not happy. If you're not happy in your current career, MIX IT UP!!!
