Here I am….working on my MBA…..sitting in class for hours, studying note cards on the train, stressing out about quizzes and final exams. What, they ask, are you going to do once you get your MBA? Will you get a raise at work? Funny you should ask…as I was asking myself that same thing this morning.
A butcher? A baker? A candlestick maker?
I don’t like the site of raw meat, I can barely boil water, but candlestick making…there’s something I might enjoy. Dip in hot wax, dip again, repeat, repeat again…..you get the picture….no one to manage, no one to hire or fire, no making “weather conversation” in the elevator when you don’t feel like it. Just sit, dip and watch the people as they stop by the window to watch me making candles. Candlestick making….hmmmm….something to think about. Maybe I can use my MBA and open a candlestick making shop in downtown Elmhurst. Maybe I can open a candlestick shop in one of those cute little, WARM tourist towns. What would I call it? Beth’s candle shop? Skinny Dips? (I kind of like that one!) What are your ideas?
If you don’t know what I should call my candle shop, maybe you have another idea of something that you think I would be good at when I grow up? I am open to suggestions.
What I do know is this….I don’t think that we end up anywhere by chance. I know that there is a reason that God brought me to a place that only has 65 days of sunshine a year and temperatures so cold that they turn fire into ice. I also know that one day I will look back and say: “oh….so that’s why I needed my MBA!”.
