I keep thinking I've come up with the perfect career for myself and then I realize why I wouldn't like it, or it wouldn't fit in with my life.
I know that we can't be sure what road our life will head down, and just because I choose one career now doesn't mean I can't change it, but I'd like to have one at least for a long time, while I go through having kids and buying a condo. And then when the kids are a little bit older, I can go back and figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I know I'd love, love, love to be a chef, but not with kids. And I know something like legal secretary would be good, but do I really want to feel like someone's assistant when I'm 40?
I like my job now, but it's not secure. It's just a job, it's not something that I can take to a different employer and step right into that role again. Well, I probably could with the amount of management experience I have, but all of my experience is mainly with locally owned businesses, which aren't good for benefits, or job security. But I have a lot of freedom in them, which is what I would miss and hate about working within a franchise or chain.
I know I'd be good at some sort of social work, but it'll cost me a ton of money to go through the programs and get the certificates and then make the same amount that I'm making now, but with all that debt.
Bleh.
