What happened to my paradigms???

Wow those two months went by in a flash! I remember just writing a blog about whether I should consider being a project manager or not. My first thoughts were how difficult can it really be to coordinate a project. What I learned in my first blog is that it takes many years of experience to get a top level job. I figured that all a person needs is a little organization combined with communication skills. This course I wasn’t taking very seriously because of the field it is in and the field I am heading towards. IT and accounting, why in the world would I need the IT information if I was never planning on becoming one? Slowly through out the course it became clearer to me that a lot of my future will be dealing with the IT world.

My paradigm shifted almost at the very end of the course when finishing all the projects that there is an insane amount of work to be done. It seemed that tasks kept piling up and never stopping. I didn’t know what exactly to do and thinking back to one of the projects and creating a work break down structure that this course was really not that hard. All I needed was a little more self discipline and motivation to kick my self out the door and get the work done. I am still realizing my paradigm feel that they will never stop but as long as I stop, take a look around, I will be able to see and fix the challenge ahead of me.

Furthermore, when I began the accounting program just over 2 years ago, I wasn’t expecting anything big in my future. I wanted to be a CGA but when I signed up I didn’t think that the job would be anything special. About halfway through my view on what a success my future can be, I started to keep my head up high and feel good. The program overall has made me realize what I can provide the world in the upcoming future because I decided on taking something that I had no idea about.
