All of us, working or not, have dreams to be something great. Whether your “something great” is an Executive Assistant, Visual Merchandiser, Store Manager, Financial Analyst, or Fisherman – your aim is to get on the right track to this dream early in your career.

However, we all have to start somewhere.

In honor of Presidents’ Day (Monday February 21) we took a look back at what our Presidents accomplished before they led the country.

In no particular order:

• George Washington – Planter, Surveyor

• Thomas Jefferson – Writer, Inventor, Architect

• Barrack Obama – Worked for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods

You can be whatever you want to be! Dream.
