I watched the creative jobs I wanted fly by me.
No matter how tired I got of the mundane days of accounting and finance, I felt like no one would hire me for anything else. I have two degrees in accounting for crying out loud. What experience did I have in design or as a writer? None.
I built a career using numbers and logic not art and words.
Then a year ago sick and burnt out, I quit my full-time job. I haven’t looked at job listings since.
