Hey everyone. I'm new to the community and thought I would check here for suggestions and advice on a possible career change. At the moment, I'm working in corporate America at a fortune 500 company doing website marketing and management. It's a great company and I've been with them for 8 hears now (I'm 28.) There's just one problem... I'm sick of my job. From day one, I knew this wasn't where I should be working... but its a paycheck and it helps me get by. As I get closer to the decade mark at the company, I'm getting to the point where I just cant do it anymore. I have difficulty even getting out of bed in the morning. I desperately need a change.
I've alway been a big horror and Halloween fan. I love the movies, I love the costumes, I love everything about it! Some of the best memories I have with my job are the past two Halloweens where I built an actual haunted house in one of our conference rooms.The one I did in 2006 was tiny, but what I did in 2007 was big (I have the video on youtube for anyone interested). It made me realize just how much I don't belong in corporate America.
This is where I'm asking for help. I live outside of NYC, NY and I'm somewhat stranded from the hot industry areas. I just don't know how I can make a career our of my love for this genre. I'm betting some of the people on these forums are either in the field or know a lot about it. I'm open to any suggestions you might have. I considered opening a haunted house in the area but real estate is so expensive that I could never afford it - and its too seasonal. I need a year long job.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
