Today I went to a "career counselor." It went well- 'cept the fact that I began to cry because I don't know what the hell I want to do with my life. I have strong convictions and morals and don't want to sell out to corporate america, but I feel at this point I may have to.
The counselor, whom will be call J, was a bit intimidating and I could not articulate my thoughts well to her. This is not something new for me- I have a hard time telling people how I feel when I think they are an "authority figure" or are judging me. She basically called me an idealist (which I am, but I like to call myself an idealist realist) that needs a reality check. I effin know that I can't change the world in 48 hours (she suggested that I may think this) and that people choose things that I don't nec. agree with. I wanted to tell J that I am no fool and realize the biz I want to go into is hard and it takes passion to stick with it. She also told me that I do not have the skills to counsel people. wtf- has she ever heard me talk with my sisters or friends, or heard some of the crisis calls I get. On the other hand, J did give me some pointers that will help with my resume- which I desp. needed.
N-E way, I am going to keep up with this LJ biz cause I need something to help me vent and articulate my thoughts. ready. set. go.
