With this in the back of my mind I've been looking through job openings in Tucson this week to see what my options are if I need to start applying come November. So far I haven't found anything promising. A lot of what I'm interested in requires a degree and experience that I don't have. A lot of what I'm actually qualified for is in the field of behavioral health and requires a level of in home services that I'd like to avoid.
I need some help brainstorming ideas. And so I present to you my list of characteristics for my ideal* job:
- Involves teaching of some sort
- Allows me to be creative
- Involves making art of some sort
- Flexible schedule
- Minimal amount of driving and any driving that I do have to do is done in a company vehicle
- At least $30,000 a year (I make less than that now and am doing okay financially...but I know I deserve more!)
- A decent amount of time off (Right now I accrue about 14 hours of vacation time every month. I don't expect to find that anywhere else but...something close would be awesome)
- Being able to leave my work at work...no paperwork to catch up on when I get home
- Something that doesn't drain my energy. It would be nice if I didn't feel like going to bed at 8pm most nights
- Meaningful- I'm contributing to society and/or being proactive and preventative in some way
- Teaches me new skills but doesn't require me to return to college
- Continuing to work with youth (13-20s)
- Makes me smile
Any suggestions?
*My truly ideal job would involve laying in a field of wildflowers, surrounded by friendly rabbits and kittens while eating cupcakes and reading poetry and then getting paid to paint my experience afterwards. I haven't seen a job posting for that yet so in the meantime I'll try to focus on something more realistic.
