This morning I was in a grouchy mood and now I'm all groovy again. For some reason I feel like I should be singing "Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide rooooollll away."
Scott's doing a good job telling me some things to consider and helping me set a 5-year career action plan. The first step, however, is a toughie: decide where you want to be in 5 years. Um, successful? Oh, you can't plan for that without a more defining goal of what makes you a success? I want to be happy. Well...that you can plan for a little bit by doing the whole: these things cause me grief, how can I get rid of them and these things make me happen, how can i incorporate these more into my life. Easier said than done sometimes, but still within your control. Acutally those two are a little silly 'cause I am successful and I'm generally happy. So I need a career.
I see myself doing business analyst work in five years. CRM is the easiest field for me to merge my skills to based on my experience. It's seemingly less interesting and easier to top out at than business process management. That's a lot harder and means more work.
How much time can/will I dedicate? Is it okay to choose doing things for me over the better good of humanity (the Jaycees. heh.).
I better get back to work or I'll have no place to merge from!
