We met with our financial advisor today. It is never fun going to those meetings. I don't understand most of the "financial talk" - stocks, retirement funds, etc. I try to understand because I know it's important, but I can feel my eyes glassing over as I nod my head to let him know I comprehend every word he says. Is it just me or is this stuff hard to understand and boring as hell?
The main point I got from today's meeting was - I better stop daydreaming about never working again, and start to focus on the future employment situation. Fun times.
I realize I need to be employed again. I have ideas, but have not acted on any of them. Some of my ideas are probably more far-fetched than others. Here are a few;
1. Work at the local casino - driving a small bus to pick up gamblers in the parking lots. This will involve getting a CDL license. How do I get the license needed?
2. Start a business of my own - (possibly with my sister who I adore) caring for pets while their owners are on vacation. Walking them, feeding them, etc. Not quite sure where to start with this idea. Do I need certification? Don't know where to start.
3. Work at a garden center or possibly a flower shop, since I have a strong fondness for plants, dirt, outdoors. Are there any jobs out there in this field? Am I physically able to do the work associated with this option?
4. Put my application into the largest local manufacturer in our area and start at an entry level position. I don't want to get back into manufacturing, but the pay and benefits are great here.
Those are a few of the things I have been thinking about. I feel a bit overwhelmed right now. Sigh........... I think my best bet is to go have another brownie and worry about all this on another day.
