Wow. You couldn’t have said that any clearer…sometimes it’s really about gathering all of the courage you need…and then just jumping.

Thanks!

I had a similar experience working in television. I started off working as an associate producer, but what I really wanted to do was be a TV reporter. Working your up from producer usually gets you a job as an executive producer or perhaps news director. So, I came in on my own time and worked with the reporters, helping them get interviews, shooting my own standups with their photographers and putting together a tape. Then I gave the tape to the news director and let her know I was interested in a reporter position when one was available. Within a couple of months I was reporting on weekends and producing during the week.

Of course, there is also the old saying “be careful what you wish for.” I learned that I really didn’t like working in TV, so I went back to working as a news reporter and news anchor on radio.
