Long road to a goal.

I just got word from a job I applied for with a Sheriff's office.  I got the job and I'm very excited.  I have a degree in Criminal Justice but haven't been able to use it because I couldn't find a job.  I graduated in 2007 and worked different jobs for a while.  When I graduated I became a substitute teacher and actually enjoyed being around kids and considered going and taking the IA test or going back to school and getting an Education degree.  Then I got a job working Loss Prevention is a retail store and that got me back on this type of job is what I wanted to do.  After doing this for 4 years I realized that I wanted to be able to grow and move up in a company.  It's hard now with so many companies down sizing jobs and taking away upper positions to save money.  So with the support of my family, fiance, and my fiances family I applied to the local sheriff's office for a dispatcher position.  After going through interviews, polygraph, fingerprinting, background check,  and observation.  I finally got word that I got the job and start training for it next month.  I just wanted to write this for anyone that feels that they will never get the job they want to not give up and to keep trying.  Yeah it might take a while but in the end you will find and get that job that you always wanted.
