BRING Recycling
Director of Finance and Administration
I work for a non-profit. The mission statement is: helping people understand how the stuff we use shapes the planet we share.
I don't have a typical work day. I get bored if I don't have a lot of variety. I turn on my computer, enter bills, & pay those that are due within 10 days. I write a monthly BRING Insider newsletter that goes out with the paychecks; I use a publishing program for that. I am safety coordinator so I write up the minutes from the last meeting. I send out the staff schedule for our quarterly community newsletter. I fill out forms for our health insurance renewal & do customer count data entry.
Here's the first step for college students
At any education level, things that are important: being well-rounded, reading a lot, writing well, getting solid math skills, knowing what is important to you (what are your values?). I have always worked for non-profits (quite a variety). I am sure I could earn more money working for a for-profit company, but I earn enough & feel that what I do matters. Know what brings you joy. I need to make music. I do that outside of work to keep myself balanced. Don't live your job - set boundaries.
