Roanoke Times Dream Job - gone...

Not long ago, I saw a job opportunity at the Roanoke Times. As I read more and more about the job being posted, I realized it was my dream job. I don't remember the exact title, but it involved creating video features, incorporating them into the website, and even doing blogs and blog updates. This was all up my alley! But alas, reality set in.


I'm in a cozy job now, the pay is unbelievable, the benefits are very nice, and I really like the people I work with. (Isn't that a dream job in itself?!) Oh, and get this - I even like my bosses! (I hope they're not reading this, or I'll be really red-faced.)


I never did apply for that dream job out of fear it might lead somewhere out of here. Before I leave this place, I want to get my Associate Degree in Interactive Media Design. That should give me a good spot on any company's payscale. I had no idea what an Associate Degree in ANYTHING could do to your prospective pay rate. Still, I can't help but wonder how cool it would've been to work for the Times as one of the paid daydreamers. Oh well.
