I Hate Myself

[det_munch]

I hated my first day at Target, they had me work the register, so I could learn how. I spent a while at a closed register training/practicing all alone-they give you a book with different fake checks, and credit cards etc and have you practice everything. Then I spent about 20 min watching one of the people, then we traded places, quite quickly I

There are always going to be other opportunities. The thing is, if you want to work with animals so badly (and obviously you do), then you just flat out refuse to let Target keep you from going after what you really want. Just because you have a job doesn't mean you can't keep applying for openings or meeting with potential employers about opportunities to do what you really want. Make plans, keep at it, meanwhile you actually have some money to do things, you have a way to get out of the house and away from your parents (who by the way, despite the fact that they are helping you out, you need to also take with a grain of salt sometimes. Parents, and I can attest to this, don't always understand how we feel and what we want. They look at what's needed and don't pay attention to the rest (which may be why so many people our parents' age are stuck in jobs they hate rather than going after what they really want). At the same time, sometimes they have good points and you just have to sort one from the other).

This is not the end of the road. You said it yourself, you're 24 years old. You've got an entire lifetime ahead of you. You've only been in the world 24 years and for more than half of those, you weren't capable of living your own life because you didn't have the knowledge or the means. Now you do. And you have another 24, and another, and another, and who knows how many to get to where you want to be. You just have to have a plan. I mean, come on, Josh has a masters in math and he's a customer service rep for an insurance company. Don't you think that some days he goes into and comes home from work feeling the same way you did? This isn't what he wants. It isn't what he's aiming for. But it's what he's doing until he can get to where he wants to be. And for that matter, that's exactly what I'm doing. The only difference is i'm using the degree that i discovered too late I didn't want.

Okay, I"m off my soapbox now. Hope that maybe helped a little.
