We have all had jobs that we have loved and we have all had jobs that we didn’t like so much. But the important thing is finding a positive Work Life Balance. A balance that will allow you the opportunity to love your job and more importantly, spend quality time with your family.

At a previous job, my hours were awful. I never knew 100% sure when I was leaving. I was always stressed out.  My blood pressure was out of control. I knew that I needed a change, for a lot of reasons, but most importantly, I knew that if I was going to be a good father, I needed to be in a different job. I needed a work life balance.

I was one of the lucky ones that was able to switch jobs in the beginning of the downturn 3 years ago in our economy and not only switch jobs, but advance in my career.  And one of the things that really attracted me to this new job was the work life balance and the emphasis that was placed on families coming first. I could not be the father that I am today, had I not switched jobs when I did. And for that, I will forever will be grateful for what I have and the job that I have.
