Yesterday was a busy Wednesday for me, which is honestly a rare thing. I had an interview with a large finance corporation for a financial advisor position - not really my line of work, but I've decided to leave the social work field, because I finally figured out I don't want to be piss broke for the rest of my life doing something I don't enjoy. It was strange to leave my dilapitated little apartment, set in the slums of the South Side Slopes, and drive South to an area known as Canonsburg. I was expecting another little subdivision of Pittsburgh as I pulled off exit 48, complete with houses, gas stations, and mom'n'pop stores. Wrong. Instead, I found myself driving through a strangely quiet little city of office buildings. Big office buildings, small office buildings.. even a country club. The roads had such creative names as "technology drive" and "corporate avenue". All very surreal. It just struck me as weird - like being in some cynical music video that uses a stereotypical corporate setting as the backdrop.

Regardless, the interview went well - the VP sold me and a few other suited job-seekers the position, I passed a qualifying examination, and I'm going back into office-world for another interview in a couple of weeks. I got home and hopped online to find out how legit this business is - turns out Forbes and several other major business publications list financial advisor as one of the best job fields to get into right now. Sounds good enough to go back for the second interview, at least.

There are a few other big things on the horizon for me - I'll consider updating this neglected site when they further develop. Till then.
