Career Choices

I know I had the intention of using this blog as a means to journal my thoughts and encounters while losing the final pounds of my weight journey, but I think this will end up expressing all emotions adn thoughts that pass through my mind.

I have been looking at career options and I think that I have found a few fields or general categories that I think I would like to pursue. I know already that I have to be in field that allows me to interact with people on a personal level. Since I have been working at the Hampton Inn I have been enjoying myself thoroughly. Hilton has a program that trains graduates to be GMs in 5-8 years. for the first 4 or 5 months you do some domestic training and then in two 6 month segments you are sent to different hotels overseas. It seems like a very interesting opportunity. They also have training in some other fields that deal with marketing and sales. I think the hospitality industry could be a very rewarding career. GMs of full service hotels can make between $100k-200k a year depending on the amount of rooms present and the services they provide.

Another career that I have been looking at is sales. Ideally, I would like to get into international sales. Sales can be another rewarding career, but it is also very demanding and can be cumbersome. Domestic sales also interests me.

Whatever the case, these two fields have grabbed my interest and I intend on researching them more.

I had yesterday off, so I took the day to relax and also had a midterm in New Ventures in Entrepreneurship. I did ok on that test. I should have done better, but what can I say? What's done, is done. Hopefully, tonight I have the time and energy to go to the gym and run and do the elliptical a little. I feel guilty for not going yesterday, but I needed the time to relax and catch up on some needed sleep. Running and doing the elliptical have me working up something fierce in the hunger department. I wake up in the middle of the night hungry and I'm hungry at random times of the day. I used to not feel like this when I did this exercise two summers ago. Maybe my metabolism has changed or I'm just one hungry bitch! I think I will have to pull it together tonight and just go. It will be late, but I need to get the exercise in.

Alright, I don't have anything else to report for the day.
