Q. What were you doing before the Oxford Program and what are you doing now?

A. I was reluctant to sign up for The Oxford Program. I had tried all of the tests and had read a couple of books on personality and careers, and none of them seemed to really help me. My perception before T.O.P was that I would never be happy or satisfied with a career. I knew something was wrong though. I would think that surely there has to be more to life than what I was doing. I knew that my life had more purpose, than just having a job that I was miserable in, so I started researching resources that would help me find my purpose, and came across T.O.P. After researching the website, I made the decision to join the program, and make a change in my life.

Before my decision, I was in several jobs that I really didn't like. I had been in insurance for a while, banking, and was currently in manufactured home sales. Now I am in grad school, earning my Masters in Landscape Architecture.

Q. Are you happy you made the decision?

A. Happy is an understatement!!! I uncovered what my passion really is and have found a way to make a professional career out of it. I didn't realize that I could turn my passion for landscaping into something like landscape architecture...I could be designing golf courses someday (golf is another passion of mine).

Q. Advice for others

A. Don't lose hope! Join the Oxford Program!
