Thinking Clearly ?....

This past week I have been trying to figure myself out....career wise and other wise. But the "otherwise" is for a different post or blog.  I have sat down and tried to figure out what I'm passionate about, what would I love spending the rest of my life doing. Family and friends keep telling me that I am still young and have plenty of time to figure it out. Truth is I am used to having a plan, so to be clueless about the future. I would honestly love to travel while doing what I enjoy in the process...I think I could make that happen. I am a Political Science major and I am taking classes that deals with both politics and the law. Now, both are okay to do for anyone who is that passionate about thoese things. I can't lie, politics and the law can be interesting at times depending on what you are studying. I do like dissecting cases or finding out the inner working of the world government at large, those are fine. Sometimes I think that I would love to become an ambassador or government official dealing with foreign affairs.  But lately, my mind has been going back to cooking and owning my own restaurant one day. It sometimes scares me that I will not do well or end up unliking the culinary field all together. All on top of the fact that actually going to culinary arts school is expensive and funding is not a guarantee. So, for now I am going to finish out my undergrad year and figure out everything as time progess. Most definitely God will be on my side while I try and choose a life career.
Wikipedia, or anything dealing with wiki for that matter isn't always appropriate for professional use, but it helps sometimes. So I have included an article for steps to finding your dream job. Enjoy :)

  1. Here's my advice...

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT RIGHT NOW.

    One of the great things about the job market today is that you no longer need a specific degree--you need a college degree in something (unless you want to be a nurse or architect or engineer). You'll be able to work in business, government, non-profits, etc. with the skills you are building as far as reading, writing, and critical thinking. You can go abroad to work for a while--and maybe pick up some cooking techniques or exotic recipes!

    You are likely to have multiple careers in your life. That's careers, not just jobs. Figure out what you're good at in terms of job skills--speaking? writing? researching?--and master those while building your abilities in other areas.
