Amy Townsend

From ice cream truck driver and magician's assistant to funeral home receptionist and associate producer for The Jerry Springer Show; as a 30-something, I’ve held a total of 50 jobs, called 21 different addresses home, earned two degrees, and lived life as a workaholic career woman, professional actress, paid party girl, would-be Cuban-American princess, skin care entrepreneur, eternal dieter & foodie, and amateur tramp in my obsessive search to find out what I want to be when I grow up. Now I channel all that experience into writing real career tips for frustrated freelancers, career changers, and job seekers who dare to ask life's big question along with me: IS THIS IT? If you like The Onion and you've seen your share of career blogs, then you'll like What's Better Than This? A career blog with a sense of humor, written by someone with a lot (and I mean A LOT) of experience. When I'm not giving career tips with a side of snark, I write about living in Nashville, America's newest "It" city. I'm not a country singer or a cowgirl, I'm just a girl from LA with a serious Southern Belle obsession trying to make it in Music City without frosted highlights and a BBQ belly. See how I'm doing at New to Nashville.
