\nOk, now that all that\u2019s all out of the way let\u2019s try and get caught up on a few questions we\u2019re behind on. Let\u2019s start off with this one, it usually goes something like this: I want to make more money should I quit and get a warehouse job? Usually we hear it from someone in the restaurant or retail industry or maybe from someone in the fast food world. My Career choice was Operations, so I\u2019d cautiously say yes of course. A Chef is probably going to say No Way, keep honing your skills here and the Retail Manager is going to talk with you about all the advancement opportunities available. Oh, and your Fast Food boss will share all the Managerial positions and franchise or business opportunities you can grow into. Remember, as managers we\u2019re all doing what we love, our choices have been great choices for us. We\u2019ve probably had mentors pay attention to us, teach us and helped us grow in the chosen fields. I saw a quote on Facebook just today from Herb Health Happiness that said The 3 C\u2019s of Life - Choices, Chances, Changes. You must make the choice, to take a chance, if you want anything in life to change. Make you think doesn\u2019t it! My point is, and you\u2019ve probably heard me talk to it before, we have to work the rest of our lives. I feel one has to enjoy their work to be successful at it. If we change jobs for a little more money but we don\u2019t love what we do, not only will we not enjoy our days there but we will not succeed at it. We\u2019ll just be wasting our time. I believe we can grow in any field or industry. We\u2019ll need to get started, learn our job and the task of others working around us, get noticed by our management team, accept more responsibility every time its offered, be on time for every shift offered to us and learn, many times on our own, about our Industry and we\u2019re guaranteed success. If we enjoy what we\u2019re doing. Myself, in my senior year of high school, I worked part time at a mall for a major Retail store in the backroom of their catalogue department. There were 3 dock doors at the docks and I would occasionally be tasked with working out there as our catalogue orders would be delivered. I found I loved the physical workout and being around the equipment. Eventually I got to operate the forklift and I was hooked. I worked several jobs throughout the college years but always wound up back on the docks. So to answer the question \u201c: I want to make more money should I quit and get a warehouse job I\u2019m going to say if you\u2019re asking yourself the question you need to make a choice, do your research on it, step out there and take a chance, that will lead to your change. There\u2019s no law that says you can\u2019t do that over and over again. If you find you love warehousing I can assure you the opportunities are there, and you can be as successful and make as much money as you\u2019d like within the industry. The more you learn and the more responsibilities your willing to take on the more you\u2019ll earn!
\nI rambled a bit, but you know by now I kind of preach Op\u2019s every chance I get!
