Abstract

Francine used to work in the human resources department of a midsize company. It was not necessarily the job Francine would have chosen if jobs were up for grabs, but since this job was available at the time, and many of Francine’s friends told her that it would at least help pay the bills, she applied and got the job. As weeks turned into months, Francine actually became very good at her job, but she also realized that it just wasn’t her passion. She had other things in mind: more artistic things. She loved writing and painting and wanted to reach out to a larger community than the one she currently served. She dreamed of being an entrepreneur, but the dream seemed far away, so she decided to make the best of her work in HR.
