People say that dream jobs don't exist. They do. I know, because I found mine. For me, staying fast when the world was slowing down meant making a list. My list was the normal grocery-store variety -- what I wanted and what I would be willing to compromise on. What emerged was a job description for an online content position.
I was tempted by the dotcoms -- the money they offered and the foosball table in the playroom -- but I didn't bite. Now I work for a bank. I know what you are thinking: Boring! Nope. It's great. I write financial news, make our clients' experiences better, and inject a dose of creativity into an otherwise gray-flannel-suit world. The best part is that the bank accepts me on my terms. For me, staying fast when the world slowed down was all about making myself happy. Gotta go. It's time to write the news!
