What Color is Your Parachute?
So, just as an introduction to what’s going to happen on this blog after its hiatus (I graduate from b-school in two weeks), I’m going to be running through the exercises in the book What Color is Your Parachute ?. I bought the book a little over a year ago, but didn’t really go through the exercises. I’m seriously thinking about how to go into business for myself, but I’m not entirely sure what I want to do, you know? I’m just to the point where I can’t hardly stand working for someone else anymore. I don’t like the 9-5, I don’t like having to show up at the office, I don’t like being in a place where I don’t want to be. Honestly, if I didn’t have to do that, I wouldn’t be too upset about having a job. It’s just all the other stuff that goes with it, you know? 
Anyway, there will some serious introspection going on around this joint for the next little bit. Don’t be concerned. By the way, as another caveat, I’ve recently gotten my first teaching job. I’m an online instructor for non-degree executive education certificate programs (talk about some qualifiers, huh?) at Thunderbird, my alma mater. I’m currently working on two certificates (Global Management and Doing Business in China), but have the potential to move into more. I’m hoping to leverage this into some other, more responsible adjunct or assistant professorships at community colleges and such. So, I have some idea of what I may want to do, but I think I could do more than just teach. Hopefully, I’ll find this out through these exercises.
