How do you decide what you want to go for in school,
Im soo lost... im going to amarillo college. I love it there. I enjoy my teachers, it makes me feel good just to be present in a productive place. But where do i stand. Of course being in school when you meet people their first question is usually "Whats your major?" well general studies right now. I mean but there is nothing wong with not having made a decision on my major.. i just dont know what career would be good for me. here are some careers that i have contemplated on over the years
Counseler...
i used to want to be a school counceler because i ended up spending alot of time in my councelers office in highschool. I mean i love being there for people. I love giving advice and i love to take care of others. I remember i was a very imbalanced teenager. my mind and my life was chaotice.. i was so vulnerable and seceptible to pain. and did i mention sentative, and then you add low self esteme in the mix... its just not a good combination. soo therefor i needed someone to talk to. Maybe i could be that for someone.. but then i learned that school counelers mostly deal with the scheduals of the students and all that boring shit.
I thought about being a social worker
I know i mentioned that im sentative... but it seems to me that a person would also have to be very hard.. if i had to deal with children being aabused every day i would probably just to take a gun after the crazy parents that starve and scarr their children. I dont know if i would have the self control or even the emotionaly stability to deal with something like that on a daily basis.
An Art teacher
i love to paint and draw... but i couldnt just be an artist.... dont put pressure on me and expect me to make some eyecandy just because there is money to be made. art is more theraputic to me. WELL SOMETIMES IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING. but as an art teacher you get to assist people in manipulating a physical object into something with meaning and feeling. I like that... i tell people i want to be an art teacher and they say.... you wont make any money. I want to say.. FUCK YOU.... if it has become all about money to, you then your ignorance will break you.
I want a career that i will enjoy.. discarding the money as a lesser priorty... its more imortant to me the make an influence... and impact... mostly on the young generations of our society.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
