In the future, I plan on working for a nonprofit. I don't have much of a vision of what that will exactly look like because there are so many different kinds of things that I could do. I imagine that I wouldn't be working too much with accounting or finance since I have no skills in those areas. It also depends on whether I work for a big or small nonprofit. I could definitely work with the budget if I were in a small nonprofit because as we've learned in class, there are so limited employees, that anyone paid could have a hand in the finances of the organization.

So even though we've learned so much about nonprofits, I'm not sure exactly how I see myself working within a nonprofit yet. I don't think I could be the executive director, but I definitely would want a big role within the nonprofit, nonetheless. We also didn't learn much about larger nonprofits. I'd like to learn more about United Way and bigger nonprofits like the ones we learned about in Forces For Good to maybe get a bigger sense of what kind of job I'd like to go after in the nonprofit world.

Everything we've learned this quarter supports my goals for the future because it directly relates to my career hopes. As far as what appeals to me most, I would have to say that working in a bigger nonprofit seems more like what I would be likely to do because I don't think I could handle the stress of that the small staff on a small nonprofit would have. It surprised me that the board and the staff often don't see eye to eye. I would've thought that since they have the same mission, they would often have the same goals and ways of reaching those goals.
