Career: The Journey
My life is rather long for the amount of experience I have. Or so it seems to me. I have the feeling that I should have accumulated more experiences or experiences in a wider range of areas than I have now. I've been to Costa Rica, Poland, and Germany. I've made flight connections in El Salvador and the Netherlands. I've been to more than half the States east of the Mighty Mississippi and one to the west. Yet I've only held one job for more than a month, not counting my missionary service.
Not only does this make me unattractive as a hire (in spite of being dependable, trustworthy, diligent, and hard-working), it also makes my task of choosing a career much more difficult than if I had held more different types of jobs.
I've been a number of things, but I haven't done enough to illuminate anything that I want to do... at least, not anything that has any guarantee of making money. I do have one thing that I know I love doing, but it's very unreliable as far as money is concerned. By this point, you've probably figured out that this known passion is writing. So I wonder if I should just forget about finding a job and focus on producing stories.
Or should I try to branch out and find new things?
