I am so excited I can't stand it! I just had to tell you all about it. :D

After a year and a half of not working, a couple of weeks ago, I posted that I had 4 job interviews coming up. Well it actually turned into 5, 3 of them were in environment/wildlife conservation, one was with an art museum and one with a dance company. All were Development jobs, which is my field. (In brief, I raise major gifts and estate gifts from individuals).

It seems that Washington DC is the capital of nonprofits and charities, and there seems to be a shortage of really good development professionals to fill them all. Since I have 10 years of experience and an award, I guess they were interested in me DESPITE my lack of a degree. One of the conservation places didn't want to go beyond a phone interview with a head hunter because I changed jobs too much according to them. Their loss I guess.....

Anyway, I am thrilled to say that my favourite of the conservation groups, the Jane Goodall Institute, has just called to offer me the position of Director of Major & Planned Gifts!!!!!!

I am so excited because ever since I was a child I wanted to be a biologist (that, and a dancer!). Unfortunately I just don't have a mathematical brain, so a career in science was beyond my reach,

I suck at math (I dont even know how to use the percentage) but I am studying Biology either way lol. I like Biology and I wanna be a biologist some day and not a mathematic. I dont know why math should be something to stop me from realizing my dream whenever I dont even need it that much. I am not studying physics after all.

Hmmm, well I was told that to be a biologist, you had to not only study biology and/or zoology (which I was good at) but also chemistry, algebra and calculus among others, first in high school and then at the University level. I couldn't even make it past grade 10 math, let alone that other stuff, so a BSc was just not going to happen for me. But good luck in your quest to be a biologist! I'm glad you are persevering.

Thanks again for all the awesome comments everyone! (L)
