What jobs have you had?
The first job I had was as an assistant horse trainer. Starting at the age of 16, I gave riding lessons and helped my boss train horses. I was an assistant trainer for about 10 years. I also trained dogs on the side and worked for a few different dog training companies eventually going on my own and training dogs on the side for years.
After that I worked in an office as an administrative assistant for a service company. The idea was to have this job until I completed college and grad school but I was getting promoted and having fun so grad school took a back seat. I worked for a few different companies and my position grew and after a while I was schmoozing clients like Ralph’s Grocery Company, Vons etc.
When I go married (ironically I met my husband because of my job) and my husband and I moved into together he discovered my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and asked me why I was doing what I am doing, and what were my original plans. When I told him I had started out wanting to become a therapist, he asked me why I didn’t pursue that dream. I just shrugged.
My husband got literature from local colleges and showed it to me. I decided to apply to all of the colleges and got into all 4 of them. I chose one of them, got my Master’s Degree, and now I am a licensed therapist and I am self-employed.
