I think I would like to be an advertising executive, or a columnist like Erma Bombeck. Either one, though, seems like I could have a lot of fun doing, if I knew how. So I feel pressured to find a job I want, and learn everything there is to know about it, so when the time comes, I can be the best. But then questions arise in my mind, such as, what if the job I chose to be my specialty turns out to be what I didn�t expect? Or, what if I work so hard on it that I forget about other things and, even though I worked my body weak, I still don�t master it, so I have nothing? I just feel so cornered. I�m sure many people can relate, but I wish there was something I could do about it. Perhaps I must just keep my options open. You know, learn about career fields that I�m interested in, in my spare time. That way, I could concentrate on things going on in the present, and when I haven�t much else to, work on my future. Isn�t it nice to solve problems by talking about them?
Actually, I kind of already have been doing that. I have an aunt who actually majored in advertising, and she gave me some books about putting together your portfolio, and such. So I sometimes read that. Also, I love to write, and in my spare time I�ll write little columns like this. So, in a way, I�m getting the best of both worlds. My present, and my future. Perhaps I�m not cornered. Perhaps I just needed to give myself a chance.
