Jordan Johnson/flickrWhen I started my first job as a digital media coordinator at a small Catholic university, the only thought I’d given to my “five-year plan” was how I’d explain it in an interview. Flash forward five years and two titles later and I had settled into a day-to-day routine. I found myself increasingly bored with work I was once excited about. As I began planning the next phase in my career, I realized that for all of the experience, connections, and skills I had developed up to that point, I hadn’t paid close enough attention to the big picture of what would make me feel successful.
