Well, there are a few people that I know that have had an inkling of what they wanted to be when they grew up since they were little. My husband is one of those people. He knew since he was a wee lad that he wanted to be a lawyer. For people like me, though, we change our minds and dreams by the day. I have been up and down like a rollercoaster trying to figure out what it is that I want to spend the majority of my life doing. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian then it changed to a teacher. I have tried pursuing a teaching career as a history major, then a liberal studies major. Now, since working in an family daycare I decided to change unofficially to a child development major. But, the thing is, as I have been working with little ones for quite some time now, I have come to the realization that I really don't want to work with under 5 years old. I have also been teetering on whether I want to start up a photography career with my brother who is very into videography and filming. Ever since I had my first ever camera, I have been obsessed with taking photos everywhere I go. I love it. I know that depending on your personality and area, though, it could be very hard to keep photography as one's sole career and income. Also on my list of what to become is a cosmetologist, another passion of mine is doing people's hair. Not so much my own- hence the dreads.
I have already spent 3 years doing undergraduate schooling getting all my general education done and I have no idea where I really want to be or what I really want to do. There is so much pressure to make this huge life altering decision and I definitely do not want to spend my life in school. I have this anticipation for getting my life started, already working in a career with a steady income, living in a home of my own or a place of my choice rather than the most convenient opportunity. A lot of people say you have your whole life to figure it out, but the thing is...I don't want to spend my whole life figuring out a goal. I want to start living. I want to travel the world and do the things I love, but it's so hard when you're being held down by social requirements. Well there is my little huff puff for the day. If you have had or have these feelings also tell me about them. I would love to hear some of your ideas and advice.
Until next time
Cheers,
Bree
