Why I chose Marketing

I wanted a job that pays well but also allows me to express my creativity and give me problems to solve. Once I discovered marketing and data analytics, I went down a ton of rabbit holes because once I find something interesting I need to understand it, be great at it, in order to have as much fun with it as possible. I want to venture into freelance marketing when I can as I feel it gives me the most freedom with my abilities. 

Another part I love is researching. I know a lot of people find that part boring but I love finding out new information on subjects I'm interested, by which I mean, many people much prefer just doing the act and getting it done and avoiding the hassle of information gathering but I love compiling and learning info on new unknown subjects. I have plenty of things I get bored by as well but if something catches my interest my I can't help but fall down a deep rabbit hole.

My Interests

As stated before I am extremely creative. This is not a brag or anything, I am just wired to need that creativeness in my everyday life. This is one of the reasons I went into marketing and hopefully freelance marketing too. I wanted a job that allowed me to express my creativity and allow me money and time to focus on my personal ventures.

Painting

Reading is a HUGE part of my life. I have spent at least 4 hours a day reading for the last 6 years. I mainly read manga online and have read over 3000 stories, but I love the feeling of holding a novel in my hand and flipping the pages. Some of my favourite novels include "One Dark Window", "The Wheel Of Time" and the "Spooks" series. I have a full collection of these and want more.

I will leave my talk of reading here because I fear it woulld take over the whole page if I spoke further.

Cooking

I was originally trying to be a chef when I was younger. When I was 15 I discovered a passion for baking, which quickly turned into a passion for cooking. I would cook for my entire family and grandparents for almost every night for 2 years. When I was 16 I started working in a professional kitchen. I worked every part of the kitchen and moved up the ranks until I was 17, working the harder position as a line cook, managing other chefs, keeping track of orders, cooking the main course dishes and making sure we didn't send low quality food out. They offered me a sponsorship for college but I had other plans and didn't want to be tied down inside a restaurant for 4 years between 19-23. I then worked in another restaurant and it wasn't the most pleasant experience but from my previous job I was more than used to chefs being irritable. 

I realised that being a chef isn't a fun way of cooking for me. As long as I was working under someone I would just be preparing and making the same food over and over again and while at the start I was learning something new all the time, after a while it became very monotonous and I decided that I would just be a cook at home and have fun with it as a hobby rather than my full time job.
