“Better to consider opportunities now than in ten years when life may limit your choices.”-Ms. Darbus (High School Musical 3: Senior Year)

Here’s the thing kids, if you aren’t married and don’t have any children, THIS IS THE TIME to take risks career-wise and try on different shoes until one fits. I know you’re concerned about stabilizing yourself financially and sustaining what resources you have now, and that makes sense, but you have the rest of your life to bend over backwards doing something you don’t want to do to keep the bills paid. It’s a whole heck of a lot HARDER to quit a job just because you don’t like it once you have mouths to feed.

Man, why did I have to want a career in music business? Why do I have to be an “artsy” person and love music versus having an interest in engineering or dentistry, a career field with a “straight forward” path? I just HAD to want to take a career path that resembles Russian roulette and is based on “who I know” instead of “what I know.”

Most of us of think (or are told) that the path to financial stability is to chose a “practical” or “profitable” academic major that will ensure career longevity and a “stable” 9-5 job. I’m doing an internship at government agency and most of my co-workers say that despite taking such a path, their wallets are still tight and life isn’t as affordable as they would like it to be. Most of my friends who are in the workforce report the same thing about their fellow employees. So, if I’m going to be just as broke after college as I am now, I might as well take on whatever crazy, career goal I want, right? Then, I might be broke, but I’ll happy as the sun with my daily, 40hrs/week job.

I used to think that there was this “magic age” where I’d have everything planned out perfectly and there would be nothing to stress out about. Wrong. EVERY stage in life has its challenges; its pros and cons. It’s just the types of problems that change.

Random thought: Ok, so let me get this straight: you either pay THOUSANDS of dollars or borrow THOUSANDS of dollars to get “preparation” (i.e. college) for a job you end up HATING. A job you HAVE TO KEEP to pay off the loans for your “preparation.” Hmmm…what a twisted, vicious, punishing cycle. God, please let me love my job, so all of my hard academic work and spent money will be worth it.

Random Thought: Isn’t funny how regardless of the fact that all your friends are going through the same thing you are, it doesn’t give you much comfort? Lol.
