I'm all kerfuffled as to what I want to do in life. Do I really want to be a photographer? I don't even know if I want to be running my own business, honestly. All i really want to do is garden, surf the internet, cuddle wendell, and talk to people.
One of the organisers of the Bizness Babes program contacted me, inviting me to some thing where I get to show off my advertising material for the business. To be honest, I feel like a bit of a failure. And it's not really even that, it's more that I just don't know what I want to do. I'm so conflicted. One side of me says "hey, i'll do that" and then another says "oh, i'll do that instead!" Even now, I'm browsing tafe/uni websites to see if anything pops out at me. Behavioural Science sounds cool. So does Cabinet Making. So does Education. And a million others. This is the thing: I like too many things, so much so that I can't seem to choose just one.
Being a quitter is one of my big problems in life. I just don't seem to follow through with a lot, and that's currently causing me problems. I mean, I get bored and discouraged so easily that often I give up before I even try. I'm sure that's one of the reasons I'm getting so many rejection letters for jobs. And I'm not even that fussed about the rejections, as annoying as they may be. Perhaps that's another reason I'm not being hired: I'm just not passionate about the work. All I want is the money so I can get to Richard faster. Although.... my resume is freakin' awesome, and ofcourse I wouldn't ever tell anyone that I'm not totally passionate about data entry. Ofcoure I am! It's WONDERFUL. *cough*
All i know is that I want a career that is helping people, in one way or another. I love helping others so so much, but there are so many ways (both careerwise and socially) that I don't really know what to do. Perhaps I should write a list of all the things I can picture myself wanting to do. Oh, I don't know honestly. It's just frustrating to see myself in many careers, because I don't know what I should choose.
In other news, my mum has started a second job tutoring two hours a week at UQ. I'm actually really proud of her, because I know this is something she was interested in doing. Plus I think she'll make a really awesome tutor for someone, and help people see that being a douche isn't the only way to get by in business. (She'll be tutoring Public Relations, how awesome is that!)
