Currently my job is a market analyst for a S.E.O. firm in Chicago . This wasn’t my plan growing up. A lot of children grow up with unrealistic ideas of what they want to accomplish when they grow up, some achieve those dreams but most don’t . I think it is because I had unrealistic goals, or my mother smashed the realistic ones. I wanted to be a professional soccer player. I actually made it all the way to the Olympic Development team, but that is as far as I went. My unrealistic goal of playing professional soccer was put to an end one morning when I woke up and realized that it just wasn’t in the cards for me . My realistic goal was to become a lawyer. Once I moved away to go to college I fell in love with the city of Marquette, and new that was where I wanted to be a Defense Attorney . Again, my mother interceded, saying that I didn’t have it in me to be a lawyer, all lawyers are blood sucking jerks and I am too sweet and kind to become one . My mother is my best friend so I took everything she said to heart , hence me working for a Search Engine Optimization firm. My mom had dreams of me becoming a famous journalist, pushing me to take journalism classes in college . I obliged her wishes, took the class, and ended up having a piece of mine on bio-medical research published, but it was too late, I didn’t have the desire to become a journalist . I took an intro to marketing, and met a person who ended up changing my outlook on my career path. He opened my eyes to marketing and all that encompasses the industry. He failed to mention the possibility of me working in Flash Design. He tried his best, but I think it might have been a blessing for me to end up in PPC Search Engine. I think it was a great career move on my part, quitting my job as a financial analyst to become a market analyst for a S.E.O. company . I actually like it, I just wish that I had more knowledge pertaining to the subject coming into the deal. S.E.O. encompasses more than one would think. There are many different levels to S.E.O., including PPC Search Engine and Web Design, along with blogging, posting content to various web pages, researching, analyzing, and much more.
My desire to work is driven by analysis and research, which is varied within my position . My job mostly revolves around S.E.O. and posting blogs and content to search engine friendly websites . Every now and then I get a twinge of guilt for not following my dream of becoming a lawyer . Right now is especially hard because I know that I would be graduating law school this month and probably would already be in with a city . Instead of being an Assistant District Attorney, I am a market analyst at a S.E.O. firm. I could still go to law school; I just don’t think that I have enough knowledge pertaining to law to even consider taking the LSAT. I know that I could study, but I honestly do not have time. I wish I did, because I know that once I put my mind to something I am great at what I do. An example of my desire is soccer, although I finally realized that it wasn’t for me, I would have made it had I not lost that drive to play . I had such “potential”, according to my coaches, to be great. I don’t know why I didn’t have the heart anymore. After twenty one years of playing soccer, almost ten of those years on a highly competitive bases, I realized that I just didn’t want to do it anymore, I played for a year and a half after that but everyone noticed the change in my game . I didn’t have a normal childhood, I was traveling every summer until I was sixteen with the national softball team, and every fall I played travel soccer and ran cross-country, every spring I played soccer, softball and ran track for my high school. My parents put me in every sport possible, including gymnastics, which I was in until I was about sixteen. When I turned sixteen I was offered a spot on the Olympic Development team and dropped gymnastics like an old habit . Long story short, this is how I ended up working as a market analyst for a S.E.O. firm that deals with PPC Search Engine and Web Design.
