I find myself somewhat paralyzed by a major bout of indecision. Something by the way i don't often have to deal with.
But then it is a big question: What the frack do i want to do with my life?
Here are some things i know:
I want to something positive use my 8 hour work day to make the world just a little bit better.
i love working with people, talking to and dealing with people is always cool
i'm a creative person, and would very much like to find a way to use that creativity.
Currently i'm at college studying Business Administration, I don't know much but i'm pretty sure it's not for me.
Now, i can stay in school, not in the biz program but my college offers an excellent Professional Writing program, and that does appeal.
Alternately i can apply at Ottawa U and try to get into Psychology.
The downside of either option is more debt and more *school.* While 've managed alright at college this year it's been a tough beat and it's tiring. I also find a lot of the kids in my classes to be truly moronic and it aggravates me. Also, one of the draws of working is working with people, it's nice to walk into an office and chat about your weekend with co-workers, i miss that sense of fellowship.
And if i go in for Psychology it'll take for-freaking-ever!
And of course a major upside of getting a job is income, and i *am* in a position where i can be more picky about the jobs i take to fine a good fit for me.
There are two major downsides ii can see to re-entering the workforce.
First, a post-secondary education no matter the field is useful, and does look good on a resume. Second.......
I do want to do psychology, i'm *good* at talking to people, i usually have really good insight and find i have a natural gift for helping people talk out their problems.
so, the question becomes:
"What's next?"
good night and good luck. |
