I got the job!

I put in my letter of resignation to my boss last Friday. I told her that I felt it was time to move on toward my career goals (what career goals?) and that I had accepted another position with the University. Well, it turns out I didn't get my first choice job with the University, but I did get my second choice position. After a long interview process, they finally extended the job offer to me yesterday. I didn't negotiate my salary as well as I wish I had. But I called back today and accepted the position and asked if I could have .50 more per hour. She said it was do-able, but she had to clear it with someone else first. Either way, it is going to be a much better position for me than the hellhole.

I think I am interested in a career in Healthcare Administration. Not necessarily at a big hospital or anything, but possibly a clinic or smaller healthcare facility. I'm still working on figuring out exactly what I want to do with my life. I know that I want a family and children and my own house and a comfortable living. I'm not greedy or money starved, I just want enough to retire comfortably and afford the things that make my life simple but happy. I am more than happy to keep a consistent job throughout marriage and raising children, but I know I want to be there for the finer moments in child rearing. As far as what kinds of jobs I want, I have no idea. I just through my applications out there and hope for the best. Now back to work.
