Short Response 4

My career. I've never put much thought into the whole choosing a career process. I mean, don't get me wrong. I think everyone should have a job, or a plan to get a job one day. I'm 28 years old, I've been with the federal government for over 10 years now, and I don't have a clue in the world about what I'd want to do as a career. Am I happy, sitting back and allowing my federal job to allow me to cruise through life? No. Am I ready to figure out what kind of work makes me happy? Perhaps. Do I know what makes me happy now when I do it, even if it's not a career move? Yes, actually.

I love to cook. Truth be told, I'm happier in the kitchen, or even at the grocery store picking out food, then I am just about any other time of the day. I plan my meals for the week, the week prior. I purchase groceries according to the recipes I've already come up with in my head. I don't even need to write them down.

Ideally, I'd love to live at the beach and go fishing in the morning and whatever I catch, well, that'd be the lunch special. It would just be a little taco hut on the beach. I could make fish tacos all day, serve them on homemade corn tortillas with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, crumbled cotija cheese and a nice, cold Corona. BOOM!!! Winner.

I would work for myself and make my own hours. I'd be able to do what makes me happiest. Cooking for others enjoyment. 2 fish tacos and a Corona, $5.00. That's a surfers dream. Any beach bum would pay that! Hell, even the fisherman and lifeguards and beach police would benefit from Brian's Beach Tacos. I could sell sodas and water too, you know, for the kids...

So, I guess if given the opportunity, I'd want to be a beach taco sales representative and entrepeneur.

That's be the life for me...


See you on the sand!
