Local TV personality Joe Pinner is a lucky man.
Joe knew at age nine that he wanted to be a radio broadcaster.
Radio was big and Joe says he had the perfect face for radio.
Joe started broadcasting in New Bern, N.C. in 1950.
He told the world "This is Joe Pinner and here’s Nat King Cole."
His broadcast career continues in its 60th year.
Joe says he has not worked a day in his life.
He admits a few days have been more trying than others.
"Some by my own stupidity or lack of preparation," he says.
Now in retirement, Joe still airs commercials and weather.
You may not be as lucky as Joe to have found your passion early.
That’s all right. It’s about the journey, not the destination.
Keep hunting. You will find it. I guarantee it.
One clue: What are you exceptionally good at?
It’s probably not "digging ditches" or "selling widgets".
Those who never find it give up too soon. Don’t be like them.

I was lucky to have found my interest in Architecture by the age of eleven. But there's always a space in between "eleven" and making a living at it. I did lots of other things in between, including the ditch digging part and the sales part. The cool thing though, was realizing that all of those crazy jobs helped prepare me for my real job! Whether I'm designing, or selling a design, or dealing with different situations and people, I can pull from my experience at those other jobs to make me successful at the one I'm doing now. So even if you haven't found your dream job yet, you're probably preparing for it as we speak!
