Nothing that paid well and nothing I could see myself doing forever.</p> <p>Well, today is my last day of my "job" (I recently made a post about possibly quitting, and I pulled the trigger!) And Monday I have an interview for what could potentially be my career! It is pretty much my dream job and fits our family's needs perfectly.</p> <p>I am 24. When did you make the transition? </p>
