Kentucky

I went to KY and did my job shadow interview. I got down there and they were like ok lets go, because the job was going door to door of certain at&t customers to see if they wanted to switch their cable to the new uverse. Exciting stuff right there.  The day actually wasn't bad, and I was entertained as we walked door to door, talked to customers and witnessed  an accounting manager train a new person.  The day ended and I felt confident about my interactions and was informed that I would know if I received the job the next afternoon.  Driving home I knew I had to decide if I actually wanted this job before they called me.

Even though I enjoyed my day, I wasn't a fan of what the work entailed.  I envisioned myself down the road and I wasn't a fan of what I saw.  I'd be a business focused individual, learning how to play people in order to make a sale and make my commission. Also the work hours were M-F from 11-8 and Sat 10:30-5:30 so it knocked out my opportunity to be involved with after school programs or other evening volunteer opportunities.  The only plus side I was seeing of this was the pay check. And that wasn't enough to convince me to say yes.

They called like they said they would.  I personally didn't think I got the job, but as the praise continued from the assistant manager, she informed me that I had gotten the job! I was excited, even tho I decided to decline, because their was an ample amount of people that applied.  It was a nice lil self esteem boost to let me realize I can get a job.  Some might think I'm crazy for saying no especially since the pay was really good, but I just couldn't find contentment with a good pay check.  I know Jesus has instilled in me this passion to work with people through their struggles and that I'll find the job that does that.  Even if it means a boring office job and then just volunteering afterwards.
