As usual, I haven't kept my promise of keeping up with my entries. Is anyone even checking this anymore?
I actually do like writing this... it's a great way for me to put into words what I've been pondering lately. I love the feeling of reading it and being surprised at what I've been thinking without really being conscious of it.
So what have I been thinking lately? Well, first off, I'm bored with my job already. I've only worked here since November, but I'm already finding it monotonous and boring. I know this isn't what I want to do in any stretch of my imagination, but once I'm settled, I can't seem to find the energy to get out there and figure out what the heck I REALLY want to do. There's a guy, Sean Aiken, who had the same feelings that I do and started a website One Week Job to help him figure it out. Check it out. That's what I want to do... not start a website, but figure out what I'm passionate about.
I know I want to travel the world, learn a kazillion languages, meet a billion people, and help make the world a better place (sounds corny, but it I believe it), but how do I do that and justify it as a career? There are a few options that I've considered:
1. Become a travel photographer. I love photography and think that this would be a fantastic career.
2. Go back to school and get my linguistics degree and become a translator.
3. Work with children for an international aid organization, such as VSO Canada
The problem is that I can't decide. I have come to the realization lately though that it will take time to insure that I have a career I love. What I mean is that I hadn't wanted to commit myself to another 3-4 years of school as it would mean that I can't travel for a while. Now I've realized that I may have to be patient and get my education in order to spend the rest of my life traveling. Does that make sense to you?
*sigh* I just don't know
