How do you feel about this Actual Career?
I enjoy the career that I’m in.

Just one more thing….
When I was looking for a career, I was simply looking for a job that paid well and would continue to be in demand for years to come. In this respect, I have the perfect career. Something I did fail to take into account, is the fact that I will be stuck working midnights for the rest of my working career if I remain at my current place of employment.
