Um... no. Not really. I can't even decide what college I want to go to, much less predict the future for anyone else. There's so much pressure on us already to decide what college we want to go to and the major we should pursue. Then, there's teh ever lasting question of "what do you want to do when you grow up?". How the heck am I supposed to know? Because I've always been on a higher education level, I've been expected to just know what I want to be. A doctor, lawyer, politician, the first female president of the United States. No. I don't like politics, I can't stand blood, and I'm not good at arguing! Besides there are so many more jobs than the typical dream professions. I've considered being and international mediator, especially with Hispanic countries. But, that's as close as I've gotten. It doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of opportunities in this world... and it doesn't look like more will come up. Honestly, after college, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking whatever job I can get at the time.
So why do we have to worry so much about what we want? In the end, it doesn't really seem to matter. There are very few people who get and education then find a career that matches that education that they truly enjoy. It just doesn't happen. And the economy... don't even get me started. all I'm saying is that this whole pressure about figuring out who and what you want to be is just too much trouble.
But I think, that once I graduate, I'll just... smile because it happened...
