Water Sign

"You’ve been walking in circles, searching. Don’t drink by the water’s edge. Throw yourself in. Become the water. Only then will your thirst end." - Jeanette Berson

I went on an interview the other day and was asked to write about water, so they could see a sample of my writing skills. When I mentioned I had a blog, she said she would check it out and I didn't have to write about water anymore. (Sigh of relief)

Of course my initial thought was what the heck would I write about water?! Do I write about the weather or the importance of drinking water or about how the world is made up of 75% water or maybe find a song or poem that mentions water? I had no idea which angle I would take it.

Even though I didn't have to write about water anymore, it still had me thinking. Then I saw this tweet by CareerBuilder - Do you know the best careers for your zodiac sign? There it was! My answer to writing about water. And I had this great picture I took over the weekend of Lake Michigan, which I really like. I had to show if off somewhere!

So what does careers, zodiac signs, and water have to do with anything? I am a water sign. According to this: The Water signs are the touchy, feely people of the zodiac. Water is related to our emotions and many excel at counseling. They are highly empathic and each sign has its own unique energy.  

More specifically I am born under the Cancer sign and this says that my Key traits: Caring, intuitive, creative, persevering, moody. You love to support and nurture people but can feel burdened by this responsibility, too. Best careers: Real estate, interior design, psychologist, teacher, therapist (occupational, speech, etc) Careers to avoid: Isolating Jobs that involve constant oversight and no creativity.

While I'm not really big on astrology and horoscopes, I can get on board with this. At one point in my life I was on the psychologist/therapist, even teacher route, and I can see how these careers fit my personality. Maybe I should even look into real estate and interior design! If you've been reading this blog, you know that I've been searching for a path and trying to fill a thirst. I'm still in need of that job/career that I can throw myself into so that my thirst can be satisfied. My internship just gave me a greater thirst and know that right now, this is what I should be doing with my life. Have I closed off the possibility of pursuing the psychologist or teacher route, of course not. But as of right now I believe a job in the marketing field to feed my creative side is what will end my thirst. If you're company can use someone with my personality, please give me a call!

Does your job filling your thirst?
