Job hunting

Nov 20, 2009 19:02

I have a scheduled on-site job interviews with [X] in early December, and I've got interest from [Y] and [Z], though visiting details with them need to be finalized.

The opportunities look pretty good, but I have two caveats. First, I'd still like to hear from [W], since working with robots would be pretty awesome. Second, it feels weird to have the limitless potential I've had ahead of me my whole life finally collapse.

It used to be I could do anything: be president, cure cancer, whatever. But now that I've arrived at the part of my life where I actually go do the things I'd planned to do, I have to pick only a single thing. Oh, sure, I've been narrowing down the possibilities for a decade, but it's never come down to picking exactly 1 thing to do. It's starting to look like I won't be the amazing cancer-curing president, but instead a guy with a job. Now the trick is to see the potential growing out of that one choice, passing through that needle's eye and expanding again.
