I'm working for non-profit!

My dream job would be to travel the world and take pictures for National Geographic. I mentioned that in one of the many job interviews I have had during the last few months. They thought it was ambitious! or to live somewhere in the countryside of some developing countries and teach people how to use their resources in a sustainable manner, or conduct tours around the world and inspire visitors about the beauty of diversity and culture.
Oh well! I don't know if I will ever get to any of these. I am one of those people who studied something and then end up doing a total different thing.
But I am finally "officially" employed. I work for the city (Parks and Recreation) and I am a manager of a center that is assisting refugees and low-income people with their education and recreation activities. My area of studies was in Parks and Recreation so at least I am in the right track. Hey, and this is a non-profit organization, isn't that what I want?
There are other jobs that pay better but I'll have to give up a lot of things if I take them. And this is the hardest part -- making decision. I have put in some thoughts and I think I am sticking with the non-profit one. I am sure this will give me a peace of mind.
