Sunday Social Jobs

Happy Sunday. Are you linking up today? Well, you should! Obviously, all the cool kids are :)

1. What is your dream job? Besides being a mommy someday (yeah, I'm that girl!) I really would love to run social media for a few small companies. That has been my dream for quite a while. I'd love to do that from home and also be able to do my photography on the side.

2. If you had just won the lottery and didn't need to work for money, what would you do with your time? So much! I would do photography sessions pro bono, blog a lot more, my soon-to-be-husband and I would vacation all the time (like, 2 month-long vacays in the Summertime, IF he chose to still be a teacher during the school year), volunteer marketing work for non-profits and probably keep making crafts for online shops :)

3. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I probably wanted to be a nurse at first...I think that's the standard "little girl" answer. I know I wanted to teach at one point too...it's hard not to when both your parents are educators and you see the awesome impact they have on students! (I still secretly would still love to be a teacher someday).

4. What piece of career advice would you give to someone just starting out in your field? As a photographer, I'd tell them to take classes. There's still a lot I don't know about photography and cameras (so ashamed). I'm still slowly learning as I go, but having that knowledge beforehand would have been so much better! I've recently seen a website called Shoot Fly Shoot which may help some of you budding photogs.

5. What are your biggest pet peeves in life, blogging, or at work? I must get peeved a lot because I instantly thought of so many things! On the highway: those who don't use blinkers, those that don't turn their blinkers off, those that don't wave after you do them a favor (like letting them over into a lane) and those that choose to rush past everyone when they KNOW the lane is ending. In my apartment: packaging/trash on the counter or coffee table, dishes in the sink and a loud tv (or loud voices). 

6. What are your biggest fears? Failing as an employee, business owner, daughter, sister, wife and mother. That pretty much covers it!
