I'll Never Work A Day Unhappy
On June 1st, 2017, I decided I would never work a job that didn't drive passion throughout my entire being. If you knew me, then you would know that the journey to finding the thing that will ultimately determine the rest of my life was ultimately not an easy one.

A Look Into Being a Starving Artist
The way I stand in life is quite different from other people. I usually divide people into two groups. The ones that understand art and the ones that have no clue. But let me explain, before you start feeling attacked and all.

If you're anything like me, making one decision can be a little difficult. I mean how many times a day are you having to decide on what to wear, what’s for dinner, what school/college do you want to go to, what do you want to major in? And my all time favorite, what do you want to be when you grow up?

18 and forced to choose a career path. I’ve been scared of writing for quite some time. I imagined if I were to write, and I mean really write. I’d have to be perfect. Spend hours on the wording of a single sentence. That I’d have to follow every rule I’ve ever heard. Give up my guilty pleasure of the use of alliteration. I’d have to give up everything I hold dear about writing and focus on the subjects that I zoned out of during school.

A Job for Money or a Job for New Skills?
It is everyone’s dream to have a nice job. A nice job often means good salaries and a comfortable life. Some people equate a nice job with the amount of payment: the higher salary you receive, the better job you have acquired. However, I think that a job that gives you a chance to learn new skills may be more important than a job that gives you money.

A Starving Artist
When you hear the phrase "starving artist" what is your first thought? For most people, they think of someone who sacrifices their well-being to prioritize their art. Either from lack of business or because they spend their limited funds on the art itself.

Ambiguous is a word that plagues job descriptions and requirements on many a job search page frequented my millennials. Why? Because we live in the most ambiguous, ever-changing, bi-polar days of the USA, ever (I could be wrong. Thinking about colonial days, I imagine everyone had to be a self-starter). Quite frankly, there aren’t any “normal” jobs for us because our parents or even our grandparents still have them! Attorney, Executive Assistant, Business Person, Editor, Fashion Designer, Entrepreneur. We settle for the ambiguous because 1. We can handle that; it’s been our lot in life since getting a car at 16/17/18/23 (see, even the age with which you are bestowed—or purchase for yourself—a car that marks your independence is ambiguous. And even then, you never knew what you were going to get… thank you 2001, Jose the hatchback Hyundai) and 2. Because we don’t have a choice. Everyone is an entrepreneur. It’s this generations chosen field and beneath it stems career paths such as Graphic Designer, Blogger, Personal Chef, Florist, Musician, Event and Wedding Planner, Uber/Lyft/other Driver, House Cleaner, Personal/Executive Assistant (don’t get it twisted, Assistants may be serving a master but they make their own luck and hustle in being the person anyone successful enough to need an assistant to want to pay them a salary), and of course, the job I wish I had enough charisma for—The YouTube Star. No, I don’t have dreams of being YouTube famous, but advertisers are hashing out billions of dollars a year to active and thriving YouTubers. So, it’s safe to say in this consumerist society, those extroverted charismatics have a place to grow exciting careers for a long long time.
