I am 25. I live in an apartment. I have a 7 year old daughter. I work for a few weeks in the summer. I am good at selling and looking for a job. My boyfriend was laid off from the factory. My family is struggling.
I have a job in sales. I take my job seriously. I enjoy my job. I work in the summer, but I take Friday's off.
It is nice to have time off in the summer with my daughter. You are right. Because I take Friday off, I have three day weekends. We can do something with three days, like last weekend we went to the beach. How is your job hunting going? You have such an ideal work schedule; I would love to find a job like that.  Job hunting is going ok...I have a few leads...I am thinking about becoming a classroom assistant at my daughter's school. Are you planning to be a school teacher, or just to be in the classroom with your daughter? If you love to work with kids, teacher is a great career. I was actually thinking that maybe I could try out the assistant job for a while and if I like it, then I could look into a full-on teaching career.  How did you know that your job was the right job for you? To try it out is a great idea. Teachers are in demand and have nice income, but you have to like to work with kids. I majored in business in college and got my first job in marketing. I fell in love with sales soon after I started working. I've heard such conflicting things about teachers' income...that's the only struggle I sometimes have with the idea of the profession.  Teachers are so incredibly important, and when you meet a good one, it is so obvious how much work they put into their job.  However, I hear that some states pay teachers a rather dismal salary...some teachers have to work a side job just to make ends meet. You are right. Teachers' income is really location related, though it's pretty stable. You need to figure out what is the going pay in your area.  Yeah...the stability is important though.  Say, earlier you mentioned that last weekend you went to the beach...do you have any plans for this coming weekend? We don't have a plan for this weekend yet. How about you? Maybe we can plan something together and let our daughters playing together. I would love to set something up!  Maybe we could go on a little walk to a park and then get some ice cream afterwards? That sounds wonderful. There is a state park almost in the middle of you and me. There is a lake and several playgrounds there. We can meet there.
