The other future.........
I don't really have much in terms of secrets, since I generally am pretty open to talking about a lot of stuff however I've realised there is has been one interesting fact that I've kept away from everyone for around 18 months now. What I'm doing now at university was 'Plan B', merely a back up plan for real ambitions.
It all started at the start of 2009, having just got my Cert IV in accounting, realising if this is what I really wanted to do, study this for another 3 years and work 9-5 in this for the rest of my life, not really. Josh and Wynona inspired me that there were more exciting things in life and that I really needed to carve my own path. I had all sorts of people questioning why on earth I was still studying accounting, when I could be doing something more 'me' I guess.
Around halfway through the year, with my first small business qualification in the bag, what few people realised was that I was only going to carry on studying this course until I was standing on my own two feet on properly running my own business profitably. I kept at my course and even started Hairlucination but it seemed pretty unlikely much was going to happen this year or next year. However in April, this vision was killed off.
I was announced the top student of my accounting class. This was a joy to win but the reality is, this pretty much cemented and sealed my fate. While honestly feeling a bit maybe-ish on my career path and not really sure if I'll get there before then, this however was pretty much sort of a guarantee that I will pretty much get there in the end. Starting up my own business would be awesome but there's just too much risk now, upon passing uni I'll be on something like $50k a year, this in comparison with potentially losing money with the business.
This doesn't mean my hopes and dreams are thrown completely out of the window. I'm studying at uni but hell, those who know me, will know that I'm going out to parties, working multiple jobs and managing Hairlucination, keeping up my fitness and I've always got a few side projects I'm always keen on doing. So I'm far from killing myself on the inside. ^^
