So a former work colleague sent me an email with an intriguing job offer. He's buying a resort hotel in the mountains that flounders during the fall/winter/spring and altering the focus to make it sort of a...sports/fitness/health spa. And he wants me to basically run the activities/fitness/spa part.
I'm not going to take it....I love where I am right now and it would crush me to be away from the beach, and I'm still very much wanting to do something along the lines of social work once I get stability in my life. But there's appeal, too. I'd basically be my own boss (something I've never 100% experienced) and I'd have a chance to play around with something, have a project, make something turn around. He threw out another little piece of bait by telling me that if I had success, after I got some experience with that kind of thing he'd look into doing something similar closer to the water, but he'd be investing in my ownership instead of having me run ship for something he owns.
This is one of several work colleagues who thought I was being wasteful with my brain by going off and working for pennies on a dive boat, but I'm intrigued he thinks I have the right background to do something along these lines (guess all that bouncing around from one outdoor activity to another comes in handy?). The challenge it would provide definitely tweaks a part of me that doesn't get much use right now.
And before any of you make gross insinuations lol, this guy is 55, happily married, I've had to travel with him a few times before (my puerto rico trip last year was for negotiations over a hospital he was trying to buy) and he never hit on me once. Not saying if I were an ugly toad he would still be asking me, but I sense no ulterior motives. Moot, anyway....not gonna do it. Even if I were willing to give up on social work as a vocation, I can't live five hours from the ocean. Can't.
::struggle::
And before someone calls me out on being ADD about what I want to do with the rest of my life, haha, I'm not switching gears! It's just interesting to think about.
