Okay. I’ve already done so many career tests and things and whatnot, I’ve thought about it, thought again and then again. I’m not getting anywhere!
There are so many things I like. So many things I want to do…
A few years ago I wanted to become a psychologist, but my level wasn’t high enough.
Then I wanted to be a writer, but the chances of becoming a successful writer aren’t big…
So I changed it to journalism. Last year I was really into it, it was all I wanted to be, but then I lost interest. Now I’m starting to get back into it a little, but more for magazines or for a site or something.
This school year (started about 15 August) I’ve already changed so many times!
We went on a school trip to Barcelona and I had a chat with the bus driver when we were there. Just random smalltalk. We got to the subject of jobs. He talked about his job. Touring car driver or whatever the official name was. That sounded great too. Meeting a lot of people, not necessarily celebs or anything, but just people, traveling and a lot of privileges because you’re the driver (like a free stay at the hotel and other great deals).
But I realized I still get lost in my own back yard. And even though there are GPS systems now and you get used to the routes and everything, it’s still hard. Also I’d be away all the time, not leaving a lot of time for relaxing and hanging with friends. And even though I love traveling, I love my city, Amsterdam, too!
There was this thing… Media Entertainment Management. That sounded great, really perfect! But I don’t have economics in the subjects I chose, cause I suck at it.
I’ve always enjoyed the thought of organizing things too (festivals, parties, whatever), but I never get the chance to and for that I need economics and another subject that I don’t have either.
At this point it’s pretty much a fact that I want to do something with the media and/or entertainment, that’s pretty obvious from my previous considerations.
A while ago I joined a band. I’m not saying we’re gonna get big or that I considered that being my future job, (I wasn’t that far off yet then), but it would be awesome if we did break though. :)
Now, since I’m really into contortion and practicing, in the back of my head I’m even considering joining the circus! I mean, the fantasy is cool you know. Traveling, preforming, entertaining, simply just doing what I like and getting paid for it too!
But I gotta be realistic. The chances of me becoming good enough to join the circus aren’t that great. Besides, having your hobby as your job might ruin contortion as a hobby for me.
I’ve thought about so many jobs. I considered webdesigning too, cause I love working with computers and internet, but webdesigning just isn’t right for me.
I love traveling, entertainment, media and I am definitely not going to settle for something I do not enjoy doing. Sure, I know the perfect job probably doesn’t exist and of course I’m willing to give up some things, but not to the point that my study or job is changing me (into something I’m not).
