The intent of this blog was to focus on areas of interest for career opportunities and while I have some ideas of what I want to do, I am still as confused and unsure as I was when I started. Reading other people's blogs inspires me to be passionate about certain things and have some sense of direction, but when I ask myself what I want to do in my life, I am encountered with a question mark. Some people have known exactly what they want to do since they were little and know exactly where they are going in the future, others have developed interests over the years and have some plans for their future, and then there are some people like me, who either have no idea what they want to do or have some ideas but aren't sure if those ideas would be a good fit for them . It is hard to choose a specific career field when I have barely seen the real world, I'm only a junior in high school. I fear that what I may want now, I may not won't later in life. Yes in college, I would be allowed to change my major, but what if I am still unsure of what I want in college. It would be really helpful if I could do an internship at some psychology clinic, or be an intern at a local police department and see what the homicide department does on a daily basis or see how psychologists deal with their clients. I've always had a certain vision for the future where I have a stable job, and I am involved with additional activities on the side that relate to my hobbies, like writing and playing tennis. I hope that by the end of next year, my senior year, I have a more definite answer when I ask myself what I want to do with my life.
I agree with you in that it's difficult to decide what we want when we haven't experienced the world that much. Hopefully you'll be able to decide by the end of next year, but if not, you'll still have the first year of college to experience more things that could affect your decision that you wouldn't have had the chance to experience in high school.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's normal to still be confused about which career path to choose. You'll eventually figure it out, and I'm sure you'll succeed in anything you choose :)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you on the indecisiveness over what we want to be. How can we really know what we want to be at this point in life? Yet we need to know so we can start to plan our majors. I actually think there are a lot more people out there who are still unsure of what they want to be, and I think it's fine. It might be better to walk into college with an open mind and take classes that call to you and then truly finding what you like.
