Manufacturing

While I was going to college to be a Fish and Game Warden, I started working at a machine shop. I got laid off and finished up my associates degree. I wanted an associates of Science to better fit my path to be a Fish and Game Warden, but I really wanted to move away from Tucson (there will be another blog someday on why I wanted to move). So I settled for a Liberal Arts degree because it was easier, and moved to North Idaho where my brother and dad lived.

Since I have been in the great Northwest I have worked in manufacturing because I had the most experience in it and it payed okay. I can't knock it because I met my husband at a manufacturing facility. Over the years, I have moved from one job to the next trying to find the right fit. I have almost 10 years experience in manufacturing and almost 5 in QA inspection, but I keep trying to get out of it. Some how it keeps drawing me back in.

I am on week two of my two notice at another manufacturing company. I have a job lined up at a State Park near my house, I worked there a couple years ago and loved it. I am excited to get out of manufacturing again, hopefully I can stay away from it between my photography and the job at the park. I just feel like I can't give up on my dreams... every time I get sucked back into manufacturing I feel like I am getting further and further away from my dreams.

I am even thinking... mind you.... thinking of taking some on-line classes through NIC to get my bachelor's in Parks and Recreation Management. It's not Fish and Game, but it's along the same lines. Who knows, I am at the age now where I need to decide if I am going to have a kid in the next year or two or go back to school.

Let's see where life will take me, I know better than to tell God my plans.
