More Than Just a Blonde

I guess I am going through it then.  I have never been a very decisive person.  Every halloween, I would wait until it was literally time to go out the door to Trick-or-Treat to pick my costume.  When it came to picking college, I changed my mind on the Spring deadline. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that when it comes to my career path I would have the exact same problem.

In middle school you take a career aptitude test and it told me to go into medicine. In high school I took another and it told me to work for the CIA or FBI. So if the tests told me two completely different fields, how was I suppose to do any better?

First job I wanted to be was a cop, then astronaut, then movie actress, then teacher and so forth.  Yes, I even considered the FBI idea, but I figured I loved my country to much to do that. So going into college I went with an open major and that is where it all went wrong.

At orientation we learned that the foreign language requirements had changed and you now needed four years.  Well, my senior year of high school we didn’t have a 4th year, just college level and the periods they offered conflicted with my other required classes.  I was going to be one year short at college, unless I declared a business major.  So I did…

Did I want to be in finance or accounting….no way Jose…but it got me out of a test that I didn’t want to take. So I decided marketing and management.  I figured that would allow me the opportunity to do what I was interested in, movie and television and advertising.

est-ce qu’ainsi avec quoi j’ai fini vers le haut? Yep, a communication studies degree which meant I took foreign language…. But now the road block is what do I want to do with my life.  And to be honest I don’t know.  I don’t know if there is one job I would be perfect for.  I just know that any job I do have, I give it all I got. No magic light has gone off for me.  Maybe it’s burnt out? Guess I should find a new light bulb……
