When I was growing up, I wanted to be a physical therapist. We had a neighbor with cerebral palsy and the work the physical therapists did with him was amazing. So in high school, I volunteered in the PT Department at the hospital where my Dad worked. I thought it would give me a better idea about the career path and maybe get me credit for observation hours when I started college. 
But then life happened. My Mom passed away when I was 17 and my college plans got a little messed up. I decided to go to the branch campus of Ohio State for a year rather than going away to school right away. And in that year, I decided I would rather study business and go into advertising. So I transferred to Bowling Green State University and got my degree in Business Administration.
The point is, life for me rarely goes to plan. My current “corporate hiatus” certainly wasn’t in the plan. I thought I would work at Walgreens until I retired – after all, they have a reputation for people staying there for their whole careers! But life had other plans and here I am surfing the job boards once again. 
I am resilient – I just need a new employer to see the value in that.
