I find myself thinking more and more of late how awesome my life is, i have some really awesome friends, both causal and close. Family life is excellent, Cam is wonderful, and E and I are getting along extremely well.
There is only one major glaring problem,as i see it.
i dunno what i want to do.
I went to Algonquin because frankly it was easy, and it wouldn't take forever, and i figured i'd make some decent money on whence i was done, and odds would be good i wouldn't hate my job, and be able to support my family.
But the etch-a-sketch has been shaken up a fair bit with Erika working Web design, she has a job she likes, is making decent money right now and there' s no doubt she can make some *really* good money in the future.
So, if that puts less pressure on me in the short term to get a super well-paying job to support us than what do i want to do?
truthfully i don't know....
here's what i do know:
I don't care about making *alot* of money so long as i enjoy what i'm doing, though i still need to make a decent wage.
i really enjoy talking to people, not to toot my own horn, but i'm oftentimes funny, charming and affable, and while i desperately need 'alone time' i greatly enjoy being around people most of the time
I don't want to be stuck behind a desk talking to a computer all day
i don't want to telemarket, or work in a call centre.
i strongly prefer working a job with standard hours, i'd considered retail, but that could involve working weekends and evenings, and i like the standard 9-5, it leaves room for a life and time with the Fam.
I'm deeply spiritual and if there were a way to bring that to work that would be worth while.
Jasmin has talked of her desire to 'Minister' and though it may seem a blatant rip-off it's an aspiration i share. There was a time i was strongly interested in becoming a priest, but the confomrist BS present in much of the Christian Church turned me way off of that.
Here's a crucial point:
I think that i'd like to do something positive. I'd given serious thought to public service, given how many of our elected officals are douche-bags i'm fair sure i could do a better job, but that would also involve a tremendous commitment of time and energy, and mayhaps i'm selfish but i jealously guard my 'me-time'
Perhaps working for some charity organization would be a good idea...but it's something i'm wary of.
another notion would be to lobby on behalf of such an orginization, the thing that worries me about that would be to wonder what kind of education might i need for that, would i have to take Poli-Sci in that case?
as ever, much to think on. |
