After spending 10 years working in sales, she opted to start anew and head back to school
Talise Geer finally reached the breaking point when she was offered a promotion, of all things.
Well, some might not have considered it a promotion. Really, it was a job title with more work responsibility. And no raise for an underpaid sales job that Ms. Geer despised.
“That is what did it for me,” she said. “It broke me. It was a lot of responsibility and I felt like I was shouldering a lot of the work myself, like I was doing the work of three people.”
