While I firmly believe we should all pursue careers we love, the pursue of our occupations typically revolve the means to pay bills and purchase necessities. Yesterday I received three glorious paychecks from each institution I work at this semester. After skimping over the summer, this big payday allows me more breathing room in my budget. I’m thankful to get ahead on bills, save funds to pad the spring in case work is sparse, and plan for the holiday season. For now, the pay may not meet my long term goals, but I can firmly state I would gladly continue working these adjunct positions if I ever won the lottery. Until then, payday is always the best day!
