I worked at SAA for many years and I was passionate about my job. I travelled the world and it was all good. After many years of doing the same thing, I got tired and it became monotonous. It started to feel like a specialized job. I started becoming frustrated working long hours and sacrificing holidays, missing out on family gatherings, parties, weddings and funerals. I didn't have a social life and now it was time for change. I realised that there was no growth for me at all. SAA was no longer the same, I felt so lost and the passion was gone. I needed a challenge in my life.
Building strategic relationships with clients over the years helped me to be where I am today. While I thought I was lost and frustrated, I met Professor Dakora, who was a dean at CPUT's Marketing department. He encouraged me to come back to study. Complaining about a bad situation you are in doesn't help. It helps to do something about it. I came back to study and now I'm currently doing BTech in Public Relations.
Not all who wander are lost, everything happens for a reason and in good timing. I was at SAA for a reason and my time there was up. So another opportunity presented itself, opportunities are not lost you miss it and someone else gets it.
You are now reaping the fruits after wandering. Congrats sisi on your graduation this week.
