Survey Says...
So, I don't know what I want. Life has been good to me so far, giving me options to take each step down the path. My first choice to go out of my comfort zone was concert commission, which I am now the production director for. That worked out nicely. Now comes my second step, choosing a career path.
With options in front of me, I could decide to do something offered to me. Do I risk not doing something I think I want to do over something guaranteed? Do I reject it because it wasn't on my radar before?
The most difficult part of this, is I really don't know what I want. Every time I thought I did, something new and improved came along and made me reconsider what I wanted. I think I choose things because they have the highest probability of making a difference in this world. I want to be someone who did something, not just another nobody in a crowd. However, to achieve that, I need to accept the great responsibility and dedication associated with the tasks.
Am I ready for that? Not now, but I think I could be. But then the question arises, do I really love alternative energy because I will be bettering humanity? Do I try automation because down the line I may come across something in that field.
Experience has shown me that proactive solutions bring the most success. Should I go after what I want, even if it's not a large paycheck guaranteed at the start date? If it's not guaranteed to be within an hour and half drive from home?
I love my family, and I want to be able to say I love my job. I can't say that process automation is not right up my alley because I've never really done the job before, but I wonder if I had investment in the product, if I knew that what I could make would make the world a better place to live, then I would be able to say that I worked my hardest to achieve the optimal results.
Tomorrow, I interview with Disney for an internship in material science. Tomorrow night, I have to talk with the process control company. Two paths lie in front of me, and all I wish is that someone would just tell me what to do.
