One of the most important goals on my list, though a little easier than my goal of securing a $60,000 salary or more, this was one of the most difficult goals to achieve on my list. Thanks to a very lengthy run of misfortune in relation to career goals, I was extremely disillusioned about jobs and lacked any form of self-esteem.

While applying for jobs, I was frequently tempted not to strive for this job, as it would make it harder to find a job. However, I knew that finding another entry-level job would not help my situation, as my whole emotionally-fragile state rested on my lack of self-worth from not being able to move up from entry positions.

It took several months, but eventually I did manage to find a job that was not only not entry-level, but also met my salary requirements. I was overjoyed! I'm still in that job now and can say it has made my life objectively better in every way.One of the most important goals on my list, though a little easier than my goal of securing a $60,000 salary or more, this was one of the most difficult goals to achieve on my list.
