Profession: Chosen/ Love doing or you just had to find something

Profession??????

 Chosen for you/ Love doing it
or
You just had to find something to do

     I know that every day, somewhere someone ask, "Am I doing the right job?"  Or "Did I Choose the right profession?" In my opinion, that if you love the job, then you are meant to be there.  There are more than several jobs that I commend the people doing.  They are firefighter, police officer, EMTs, Nurses, Doctors, School-age teachers (K-12), Construction Workers, Truck Drivers, and most of all School Bus Drivers.  All those jobs, people love to do or that is their calling.

               What would be your top 5 jobs that you commend other people on?

1.

5.

     I really don't know how people can do all these jobs and then come home or wonder am I coming home.    

    Maybe, a lot of people don't know about me is that I have 2 Associates Degrees from Alamance Community College.  The 1st one I got right after I graduated from Western Alamance, that was Business Administration.  Which was my 1st passion.  I would work with my Aunt at the company she worked with.  I was very good at all of those jobs.  She challenged me.  Then, once I graduated in 1999. 

     I felt the need to challenge myself again.  So, I went back and got my 2nd Associate Degree from Alamance Community College.  The 2nd one was Early Childhood Education.  Which every since I started in 2000.  I have been in Child care ever since.  I have worked with ages (6 weeks - 12 years).  When I did my student teaching to graduate, I was even in Kindergarten and a Special Needs class at South Graham.  I will admit that I wanted my babies back.  

     I have worked at several different centers.  I was a Lead teacher and a Director of a center.  I also did both of those jobs together.  I have basically seen my 1st or 2nd group of kids, when I first started teaching - graduated from high school and had babies of their own.  And that makes me feel old.  I will continue doing this job as long as I can.
