As I sat in the performing arts complex today waiting for the stage manager to arrive, I saw a flyer for internships with Disney. The idea floated around in the back of my mind, and it hit me on the walk home why; when I was in Disneyland with the school band, I met an employee whose job was to wander around the park taking pictures of and for people. At the time I thought it was the coolest, most amazing job in the whole world. And I still do, honestly. I've enjoyed my photography classes more than perhaps any others in school, and I'm wondering if that may be my ultimate major. But as usual, I'm at the crossroads with no real direction. And it seems the more classes I take to try to narrow it all down, the more doors open rather than close. Maybe I really am a JOAT, a Jari Of All Trades? My major right now is officially "general studies" (or "directionlessness", as I call it). *snorts* I took the school-administered aptitude/interest test, and I FAILED. Seriously! It came back "your responses do not indicate any clear pattern, please try taking the test again".
So I'm stuck again. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Meanwhile, Disneyworld DOES have a JOAT program (they call it "hopper"), but the pay is so incredibly much worse than Princess and the benefits are so much more lousy that it hardly seems worth it. But it IS Disney we're talking about (*giggles* On the website it called it a "gated community"), so it might be worth it just for the brand name.
Darn it, I thought epiphanies were supposed to give you answers, not just more questions....
self (introspection),
education (not that it'll help),
amusing,
employment (in the holistic sense)
