I'm a preschool teacher. I get to shape the next generation while sharing a love of music, nature, art, food, and so many other things with young children. And I'm a guy, so I get to shatter so many stereotypes at the same time.

I'm development director at a small non-profit. My coworkers are great. I believe in what we do. I have to hustle enough that it stays interesting, but I don't have to work ridiculous hours. Some days it does suck, but most of the time I'm happy to go to work.

My previous positions have been intensely interpersonal, and I realized I was working against my strengths (independence, analytical thinking, writing, creativity). Once I realized how much office politics, small talk, etc. was bringing me down, I searched very, very carefully for my next move.


Funny, I need to move into something intensely interpersonal and away from the analytical thinking and independence. What do you recommend?


I'm in education. The interpersonal stuff was direct service (mostly school leadership, some higher ed.).

I'm a legal secretary. You guys have made fun of my firm in the past (the GC dressed up as a vegetable and ran around the office), but I like it. And not just because we're going to have pie on March 14th.

Who are you people? What do you do? How did you manage to get into that position? Most people I see, even high level white collar professionals hate what they do.
