what do i want to be when i grow up?
i need to not be so indecisive. i need to lose a few pounds. i need to work on growing my hair out. i need to clean my bathroom floor. i need to pay my bills sometime this week. i need to work more and play less. but above all else, i need to settle down and set my mind on what i REALLY want to be when i grow up.
i'm currently working my way to a radiology degree. for those of you that dont know what this means, it simply means this: i'll be trained and certified to take x-rays, mri's, ct scans, plus general maintenance of machinery and hardware that i'll be in contact with while working. i know it doesnt sound glamorous, but listen.....
when working in a hospital, it's only required that a "radiologic technoligist" work 3 days a week (which equals 36 hours) and makes no less than $60k/year. now it sounds a bit more appealing, right?
however, with me being the indecisive one that i am, and believe me, i do have a hard time making up my mind, i've begun thinking that perhaps this isn't what i'm destined to do. am i really supposed to be taking x-rays of the injured, feeble, weak, and sick for the rest of my life?
in a twisted sense, i do enjoy being in the hospital. the workings of things amaze me, and i do think i'd enjoy wearing scrubs. plus, when i do get married and have babies (which will happen come hell or high water) only having to work 3 days a week and making that amount of money is a mother's dream. i wouldnt have to have a "nanny" raise my kids for me, i'd have the time to do it myself.
clearly, the choice of continuing with the path i'm on is the right one. i just dont know if i can see me doing it for the next 30 years. argh! i wish i could just win the lottery or something. then i wouldnt have to think about this.
