Question

Oct 22, 2006 10:25

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here. But I guess it's time again. Not too much to report, really. I have classes, including two seminars that are keeping me very busy. But I'm enjoying them all. My exercise science seminar is the best so far, I really like just being able to work on research independantly, on topics I am very interested in. Hockey started up this past week, and it is great to be back in season.

A question / request for advice from friends-

I am trying to figure out what to do next year. I am getting antsy in school, always being in books, and feel like I want to do something. But at the same time, most of the jobs I want require grad school or previous experience, and I need benefits. I have a few options.
1) Go to seminary somewhere, perhaps in Pittsburgh.
2) Find a job in the Twin Cities and live with Jennifer.
There are a few jobs that come to mind, that I'm not sure I'm qualified for-
Someone to coordinate work with congregations in a faith-based housing development program in Minneapolis.
A program assistant part-time at a chemical dependency house.
Do job counseling/placement.
Become a personal trainer?
Find a volunteer job I really like, and then find a full-time job with benefits that has nothing to do with the future, like working at a store.
3) Head home and work there, live at home in PA with my parents and pets.
4) Go to a random city if I can find a good job.

Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? I'm really not sure what to do with myself, if I should go to school again and just dig in, and then of course do internship work so maybe it won't be as frustrating with all books. Or if I should get into the work force, make some much needed money and get some experience to figure stuff out. And then where to go.

Love you guys.
Off to study Judaism.

the future
