It's overwhelming to think about all the different career paths I can take with my degree. It's a good thing and a bad thing. Right now I have a couple of ideas; advertising, copy writing or screen writing. I'm also still hoping to become a NY Times Bestseller. That desire will never die. As for my day job, one of the above I think I will be happy doing.
As a recent graduate...not sure when that tittle will no longer apply to me, I am taking it day by day trying not to get discouraged. I have my whole life ahead of me and its ok not to have all the answers. I think one of my biggest problems is that my close friends have full time jobs. Granted, most don't like it but they have one. Meanwhile, I hopping around with two jobs and a volunteer position. But I am blessed and I pray I never forget that. All of those positions I have can potentially lead me to a full time or at least something that will allow me to use my passion of writing. One actually lets me use two of my passions so I am grateful. I hate that I never seem to be happy long.
On a happy note, I love this quote from Bill Cosby, "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."
He is spot on! I don't think I'm afraid of failure but I am afraid of life since I don't know for sure what I want to do. It will come in time, I just need to stop fretting.
