I hope to one day be my own boss. I want to make my own company policies and set my own schedule. For my readers who don't know, my ultimate career goal is to create an organization that provides services and child care to low-income and needy families. Services like financial counseling, family/individual therapy, educational and career opportunities, tutoring for school-aged children and other services down to child care.
Sounds very ambitious for a girl who just barely stepped out of the circle of being a teenager, I know. I'm am an ambitious person and I am already working really hard to make this dream come true. There are many reasons I feel the need to take all the risks and create an entirely new organization and here is why.
For starters, I hate the idea of working under one individual who will make 38,000 times the yearly salary I do. I'll most likely never meet this said person, although their decisions will affect almost every decision I make in life. I'll sit at a desk or the even more dull and boring cubicle, and I might be lucky enough to have my own office. With a 9-5 schedule each week, I'll roll out of bed in the morning dreading the day ahead of me.
Secondly, I will not let my creativeness and care for others be destroyed by the infrastructure of a large corporation. To me, it seems like the CEO's and major leaders will sacrifice the happiness and well-being of their employees just to save a couple of bucks. I'm always told that's why these companies are successful. I understand the importance of saving money, but again these big decision makers are probably making million (if not billions) of dollars a year. It's unavoidable to purchase products from such companies, but I won't be employed by one for the rest of my life.
Next, I would like to point out that many of my decisions aren't driven by greed. I'm not driven solely by my desire for self-satisfaction. I don't plan to earn my living off the weaknesses of others. All I desire to do is make life and each day easier for the families that struggle to survive. I want to help these families, specifically their children, become successful.
I want to be the one to make the decisions that benefit these families, not my paycheck or my way of life. I don't ever plan on having more money than I even know what to do with.
