I always dreamed of being in the music industry and now here I am! It is only the first step but being a customer service rep for musician's friend allows me to meet different musicians from all over the US and Canada. I have some awesome conversations which have pushed me forward towards my goal of being a promoter and learning guitar. I am also learning more every day about different music gear which I never before knew much about!
I love my job even if it is only part-time. To counteract the PT status, I have an interview set up to become a substitute teacher for the K-6 grades which will be a blast! It pays fairly decent for one day of work and I may be able to be gone only while my son is at school.
Another aspect of my customer service position is that the company is planning on going international which is what I specialize in during college classes. This means that there is definitely room for advancement which excites me tremendously! My waiting proved to pay off finally and I have never been happier in my whole life (except for when I'm at a concert that is :D).
I have to say to everyone "find a job that shares your passion for your days will be much enjoyable!"
