Character Exercise: Dream Job

Day 9: What is your MC’s dream job?

Sadie’s degrees are in Business Administration, Marketing, and Hospitality — when she started college, she wanted to own a chain of restaurants in the future. While she is an accomplished cook and has some training, she doesn’t have much interest in actually being a chef.

When Sadie became an influencer, she lost track of that ambition of hers. It wasn’t until after she went into recovery that she realized how off course she’d gone. For about a year, she lived with her grandparents while she figured out what to do with herself. her father wanted her to go back to school and become a chef, but she didn’t feel the pull. It wasn’t until after he died that she made a decision.

Now Sadie works at her cousin’s A1A Diner in St. Augustine Beach, mostly as a cook but also doing marketing work and helping the business run smoothly. And Sadie has found that she enjoys this — helping other people run their business and build it into a success. She hasn’t fully fleshed things out, but she’s starting to imagine that her dream job is helping others get their dream businesses going with a strong start.

And maybe somewhere down the line, she’ll get that chain of restaurants she used to dream about.
