Summary
Despite all the skills and knowledge i have gained working in all of the fields ive stated (and a few others i havnt mentioned) i am looking for a career change. I take great pride in all my work but helping people and making a difference in someones life seems to give me purpose. This empathetic mindset only seems to get taken advantage of in fast paced production type jobs. I will always remember the things i have learned and am excited for a future i can be proud of.
