life is working out for me after all

I've always been the kind of girl that never really wanted to stick to one thing and do it the rest of my life. I get a new job about every 6 months or so. I've worked at
-sonic for 2 days
-nanny one summer
-gap 6 months
-preschool 8 months
-the crown shop 4 months
-K hits 96.5 about 1 month
-riverdale cinema 4 months
-CTEH currently employed there
-dog walking currently working here too

So basically after I got out of high school I didn't want to go straight to college so my momma said that I needed to start exploring careers to decide what i want to do until I go to school or get a basic idea of what i want to do when I go to school.
I've been out of high school for two years now and I am finally realizing what i need to do.
I started dog walking in December I only had one customer up until late march when I posted an ad out on craigslist and I really started marketing my business. I am making great money and I love working for myself. But, it's been really hard walking dogs while trying to manage a job from 8 am to 5 pm Monday-Friday. It's even harder because I don't enjoy what I do there. But one of my dog walking customers offered me a job at his work. It pays 12 dollars an hour and it's only on the weekends. How great is that?! So basically what I can do now is quit my lame office job and walk dogs during the week and work while making great money on the weekends. It really seems like everything is working out for me...and now I am starting to get an idea of what I should take when I go to school in the fall. Business management and marketing. I've always wanted to own my own business (whether it was a children's book store or a radio station) and I can't believe it took me this long to realize that I wouldn't mind doing that the rest of my life.
Later on today I am going to put up some pictures of the overalls that I've been meaning to put up for so long now.
Be sure to come back and visit.
