It's not the most exciting thing and I certainly don't consider it a "real job." So I'm certainly not the best person for job advice. But it's the easiest thing for me to do while finishing college. I work with all guys, but fortunately never dealt with a whole lot of the "guy talk" you face at your work. But I can see how that could get annoying.<br /><br />Making a big change like that can certainly be scary, but if you feel you need to move on a get a new job, then go for it. Start searching for the right job for you. You will find it! And you will be much happier about the change when you do!Rachel @ The Haute Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050054196437279227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-63608794061866553412011-01-14T14:39:12.591-05:002011-01-14T14:39:12.591-05:00Very inspiring love.
