Day 18: Dream Job<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ragnar<\/a><\/p>\n

As I have mentioned in my Proudest Moment<\/a> post, I want to be a race (event) director. I’ve known this since I was in high school, and I started running. When I graduated college, despite my internship and having directed my own race, I’ve found it hard to break into the industry in the position that I really desire. What I came to realize last year was that I’d have to take some jobs as stepping stones to gain more experience and expand my knowledge of the industry as a whole. I’m glad that has been my path because it will only make me a better candidate later on. I think in the long I’d like to own my event management\u00a0company. I’m not sure if I’d prefer it to be running events or a different type, but I have my whole life to figure that out!<\/p>\n

My second, unlikely dream job is becoming a full time photographer. When I was researching my wedding photographer, I read many wedding photographer bios where they say that they have “the best job in the world”! I believe them. What could be better than taking photos of people with their loved ones?! So happy, so excited for what the rest of their lives hold!<\/p>\n

When we met our engagement photographer in Utah, he was extremely passionate and it was clear! His enthusiasm made the shoot so fun! I love to see people extremely happy in what they are doing with their lives. It makes me realize that there’s a place for everyone and everyone’s strengths. I’ve been told by my friends and family that I would be a great full time photographer. As I mentioned in previous posts, I grew up with a camera in my hand. In high school and college, I took thousands of photos of my friends. (So many that I had to keep getting larger hard drives to keep them all on my computer). Facebook also likes to remind me daily of all the memories and photos that I took over the years (and posted).<\/p>\n

For now, I’ll keep taking photos on my own as a hobby and improving my techniques. Perhaps someday when life is a little different that will be a possibility!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
