Career Ponderings
You know...recently I've been so caught up in grades and assignments that I've realized I still have no clue what I want to do after obtaining my degree. I've been in school for so long that I sometimes I forget to think about what'll happen after it's all done.
I guess ideally, I'd like to find work at a private company that builds tourism spacecraft capable of flying to altitudes within the suborbital atmosphere. But chances are, I won't be getting such a job straight out of college (if at all, I'm not sure how the job outlook is in such a field). I think it'd be wiser to build up experience elsewhere beforehand.
So, I guess my questions for all of you (that are currently involved in careers) are the following:
- Did you have any major plans or goals as far as a career when leaving school?
- If so, did you see those plans through immediately with your first job, or did you wait to gain experience with other things first?
- And if you did see these plans through, were you or are you presently happy with where you are in your field, or did your goals and plans eventually change?
