It's weird thinking about what the future holds.
I'm not really sure why, but over the last few weeks, everyone seems to be asking me what I'll be doing with my life after college. The truth is, I really have no idea. I'm an unofficial history major and a critical studies minor, but that really doesn't mean anything. I mean, yeah I like history and movies, but who knows what's in store when I finally graduate.
I'd love to live in New York for a little bit.
But living in New York requires a source of income.
Which requires a job.
Which requires knowing what you want to do.
I mean.
I guess I can have a job without knowing what I want to do, but I'd prefer to be doing something with a purpose.
I tell everyone that I want to do something with movies, like production or "film research," a position I'm not even sure exists. Well, that's not entirely true. It does exist, it's just not what I thought it was. And don't get me wrong, I'd love to work in the film industry, but how realistic is that really?
I'm not even sure what kind of degree I need to even do that kind of stuff.
Lately though, I've been thinking about teaching and how that would be. My history teachers in high school are the reason I like history so much and are the reason I'm focusing four years of my life studying it. To know that I could have that impact, and set an example for younger people excites me, but at the same time it's not something I'm set on.
Teaching has always been in the back of my mind. Something that I've always thought about doing, but never really thought would become a reality. It's always been something that I'm hesitant to commit to, and I'm not really sure why.
I know I have a couple years to figure everything out, but I can't help thinking about this stuff on a daily basis.
And who knows?
Maybe I'll end up being some business man at some huge corporation.
^Whoops.
Jokes are funny.
