$45,000

No no, I haven't skipped ahead to $45,000. Today I am supposed to spend $14,000, I'll do that later.

I've been busy creating my Curriculum Vitae for an upcoming speaking engagement and also for jobs I'm applying to. One of the jobs has a salary that tops out at $42,000 and the other tops out at $45,000.

I am realizing that it's almost overwhelming to think about making that much money. It's like it would be too much, too much!! Isn't that crazy!
Creating my CV has been interesting as well. The format I'm using really looks professional to me and puts my resume to shame. I'm noticing that it looks official and that I feel more official. It seems that I'm owning my masters for the first time and really taking stock of the amount of experience I have built up over the years. It feels silly to say but I'm looking at all my experience and actually thinking that the skills I'll bring to a job are worth $45,000. It's not that I am worth $45,000, but that my skills are worth that much...or maybe more. This starts to beg the question of what is $45,000? Oh the existentialnessnessness of it all


More on all of this later...
