People in the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Florida Metropolitan Area (United States)

When I first started this job I was told that in (3) Months they will review my profile.... they didn't... The Company was very small at this point I wasn't sure to ask for the promise, the Company expanded from 7 properties to 55 and the job always was done, the year review cycle came and nothing.... I spoke to my supervisor and again he promise me the increase will come, another four month past and nothing them I started looking for a new job...when I find a good one I turn in my resignation, my Supervisor run in to my office to please no to go...they increase 8,000.00 more a year, and I am very happy working with them...

When I was starting out in the real world of employment, my first priority was to find a good paying job. Like many young adults today all I was really thinking of is what kind of career can I get into where I can make lot's of money. Well here is your wake-up call. For 15 years I was in marketing and sales. Ambitious I moved up the ranks fairly quick. After a couple of years I was promoted to Division Sales Manager for a Major corp. Making lot's of Money. I thought WoW !!! I finally reached my goal. People - wake-up - money is not everything. Sure people probably think I'm nuts. I am here to tell you the first and most important thing young adult should be asking themselves is what do I really like doing and in 5 years will I still feel the same way. I was more concerned about making money then if I was enjoying my career. No, I was misarable, I would get up in the AM and say to myself oh brother I hate my job. I hated getting up in the morning. Finally after 15 years I realize that my happiness meant more to me then any amount of money. I quit my job went back to school at 38 yrs old got my degree in what I had a passion for since I got out of high school. I can honostly tell you I make less then 1/2 or maybe a little less but I wake up in the mornings and can't wait to start working. I am physical, mentally healthier now then I had been in a long time. Find something you have a passion for, you can still make great money. Not what can make you lot's of money but be misarable. Remember this is something you will be doing for a long time.

Wait until there's a lot of work and boss is worried about it.
