The life,times, troubles, toils, and tribulations of Raymond.

 
I find myself at a crossroads in life. I think I am ready for a career change. I have spent the last 5 years working in radio, but I think I am ready to move on. I had been moving up the ladder slowly for the last few years, but I took a big step back this past March; and well, I guess I am just tired of it all. If I really wanted to get moving in this industry I would have to move away from Southern California and I am not sure if that’s something I can or want to do. As much as I enjoy working in radio I don’t know if I have the drive anymore to move to the middle of the country and start at some new are some radio station. I have gotten pretty cynical in this business and I am thinking it is time to move on. The only problem is that I feel I am committed to the Sports Station until the end of the Football season. I am the engineer for the Raiders Football game and the UCLA Football, and I am the only really experienced part time board operator left at the station. The thing is I just don’t have the heart for it anymore.

I just finished an EMT-Basic course, and I think I am ready for a career change for the moment. More then anything I just need the money and the benefits. I am 22 and I am just scraping by. I really feel like I have underachieved. Seems like everyone I know has either started working on an advance degree or has a decent paying job. Me I am scraping along barely able to get by. Not only that but I have pretty much lost all of my job satisfaction. Yep, it is time to move on I think. Who knows what I will do, but it is time to get on with my life.
