My path in life took a while to figure out

1.
First, I focused on getting my education to create a foundation for my future career.
2.
Then I began to pursue other opportunities beyond the retail work I was doing during college.
3.
I was hired in at Capital One with a job interacting directly with our customers on the phones.
4.
Then I learned how to be successful in a support role doing case work for various groups.
5.
Once I learned core aspects of my business, I was able to learn how I could best support my peers.
6.
Then I expressed interest to expand to a training role and was granted the opportunity.

THE NOISE
Messages from Friends:
Working in a 9-5 office job would be a waste of time after I spent 6 years pursuing a college degree in Psychology.
How I responded:
I took the skills and attributes that I learned from successfully graduating college (not just the materials learned in class, but the life skills gained through the overall experience of earning a degree) and I applied them to being driven and successful in a business workplace. I also began to tap into the materials I learned regarding people interactions and used those to my benefit in navigating a corporate atmosphere so in actuality, my degree in Psychology HAS helped me be successful.

Experiences and challenges that shaped me

Learning to manage my finances after college was a struggle because I had amassed quite a bit of debt during those years. As a now established adult, I have learned to negotiate the difference between wants and needs and focus on priorities.
