I have been thinking about what I want to do with my life. And pretty much I have no idea. That is a really scary thought when you are about to graduate college. I am supposed to be starting my career but I have no idea what I want to start. People tell me all the time, "oh that's okay you still have time to figure it out, you are still young..." but those people know what they want to do!
Recently I have been looking into gerontology... working with the elderly... I like working with people, I want to make a difference and I think elderly care in this America is horrible and really needs to be looked at. Not to mention I can always get a job in it... haha. But I am not really sure about that either. Josh says I am just afraid to fail... but isn't EVERYBODY???
I am being really bad right now and doing this at my internship. Which I pretty much hate. Basically: sitting at a desk all day is NOT for me. go figure. So I am graduating with an English major-a degree which basically is made for a desk job. super.
For all of the "opportunity" that is open to people now, I still feel trapped and overwhelmed. Most people I know are graduating with massive debt. How many people actually get a job doing something they love? Maybe I am just being pessemistic...
You know my ideal life? Running my own little bed and breakfast in the country with some horses and other farm animals while raising my kids close by friends and family. I dream about that. But realisticly a bed and breakfast would make me zero income so I have to figure out what to do for the next 40 years so I can afford to do that eventually.
Lets just all go back to hunting and gathering...
