find a career I love

Again this is something I simply have to do as I don’t think I can spend so much of my life doing something day in day out that I hate. Any tips other people would like to share feel free!

I have always wanted to take part in a movie, video or magazine, but the real reason to do this is to help me with my public speaking skills

All through high school and most of college, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: I wanted to be an actress. I had leads in all the plays, was majoring in musical theatre at a well-known school, got a lot of compliments from people, and loved every second of the hours I spent at rehearsals.

Then, one day, I realized that I was counting the minutes until I could go home.

It was like all of a sudden acting stopped being fun. I dreaded going to rehearsals, I couldn’t wait for shows to be over, I didn’t even get excited when my scenes were coming up anymore. And, well, let’s be honest here… performance isn’t exactly a career one goes into for the money. If I didn’t love it anymore, it would be ridiculous to keep pursuing it.

And ever since then I’ve been kind of flailing around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do with myself. I’ve always spent a lot of time writing, and love hearing and telling stories, and I even went on to get a Master’s in playwriting later on. But that’s another one that becomes significantly less enjoyable when I actually have to do it.

So now I’m trying to figure out the best fit. I’ve considered everything from teaching, to bartending, to owning a book store, to dog grooming. Maybe it’s writing after all and I’m just not applying myself like I should. Or maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree completely.

Honestly, I think I spend way too much time dwelling on it. Really what I need to do is just try all these various possibilities and see if I like them, right? I mean, worst case scenario is I don’t… and I move on.

Wow, this is a novel. Sorry guys. Can you tell I’ve been turning this over in my head a lot lately? Hahaha.

I have been meditating on this and feel that I am getting closer. I started to ask myself I want to know what I want and things are starting to fall into place

So, I’ve decided that I’d really like to go to school to be an EMT and eventually a computer programmer, but at the same time I’m in school for art right now. I know it’s a dead end unless I can get on with a gallery or as an art teacher, but the school system here is cutting back a lot of funding for art classes. I guess for the time being I need to simply focus on getting a small part time job that will just help me pay for school rather than worry too much about this right now since I have to finish my gen ed classes anyway!

I’ve been working in the Management Consulting business for over ten years. It pays well, but it hasn’t been fulfilling. I also feel that a lot of it is just buzzwords and slick talking that really doesn’t amount to much “value added” (consulting term) when you get right down to it. Thoughts or ideas?

You only have one life; don’t let fear hold you back! Try it, see if you love it, if not, move one
