My job is actually pretty good

Despite many of my comments, I recently came to the realization that my job is pretty good. The reasons?

1. The project I'm working on will have an effect. The project I'm working on will affect $400m in business a year while actually reducing the environmental impact of our product substantially. For an entry level job, this is unheard of and quite fabulous.
2. The company is willing to invest in me. Sylvania has no qualms about sending me to Six Sigma training for 4 weeks or give me German lessons have the plant manager mentor me. These investments, intended to develop my worth in the company, make me feel very wanted.
3. The experience will be unique and deep. Everyone I work with is older and more experienced than I am, but also completely willing to spend time imparting their knowledge to the new hire. As a result I get the benefits of several hundred years of manufacturing experience whenever I want it. Additionally, my boss has great desire to expand my understanding of the lighting business as a whole, planning trips to central research and the parent company plant in Germany. After two years I should be a lighting-manufacturing expert with a good knowledge of the lighting industry.
4. I am truly a young minority. Although this one is very convoluted and something that shouldn't affect anything, being a young minority is becoming an asset. On a day to day basis, it distinguishes me on the production floor. I should be offended when the line supervisor calls me "little lady", but it gets me what I need faster and better. On a long term basis, the company is due to have major turn over in the next 5 to 10 years, which, when combined with their diversity initiative, bodes extremely well for the young minorities of today. Although I don't plan on staying with the company that long, it would be a very intelligent career move.

Sometimes I just need a reminder of why this is the right place for me to be right now.
