    Default Best day of my life today!!!

    So...everyone knows I am getting this job @ a grocery store doing misc. things..

    Well today I go in for hiring. She says to me..I have a proposition for you. Our cake decorator quit about 15 minutes ago and we want you to be our full time cake decorator.

    Now for those following my threads I have a HUGE passion for cake decorating. I have TONS of at home experience but never worked in an actual bakery so this is a dream come true!!!

    Needless to say, I started crying and took the job. She is like I love that you are crying! It shows how passionate you are!!!

    I was so happy!!!

    Full time @ $10 an hour!!! WOO HOO!!! Miracles do happen!

    I most definitally did NOT expect this. Never ever would I of expected this.

    Now the only difficult thing is training for 2 weeks is in PA and I am in NJ. And I do not drive...so this should be interesting. I really don't want to get a hotel room for 2 weeks. Oh boy...

    Congrats on the job!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
