How I Found It:
my sister got knocked up and needed someone to look after her business, so I took over. I moved on two and a half years later to an animal shelter here in Sydney. I’ve been there since May and I’m hoping it’ll eventually lead to working in animal behaviour/psychology/rehabilitation.

I have a diploma in events management and could be earning a huge salary… Instead I sit on minimum wage, barely scraping by, all because I love what I do.

I went to college for a year in hopes of being a doctor, but I really didn’t have the drive for it. I came back, waitressed, then worked at a call center. I got promoted a few times in the call center (which I loved for some odd reason) but Verizon outsourced the work to India. Then I lucked into the job I have now which is pretty awesome, but the money sucks.

I think it’s what I want to do for a living, I just have to buck up and go get my degree so I can actually make money doing it.

I think career choice is more about finding out what you don’t want to do than what you really want to do.

I didn’t declare my majors until my third and fifth years of undergrad and still don’t know what I want to do. Right now, I’m working as an assistant but I hope to take the GRE soon and start grad school. We’ll see what happens…

i shouldn’t have started college until i was 25. i was soooooo not ready to be serious at 18. i literally didn’t go to school my first 1 and 1/2. of course i got kicked out. went home for a semester and took classes at the community college and swore i would start going to class and stop partying.

went back to UD my junior year, and started going to class. i didn’t stop partying though. oops.

im amazed i still graduated in 4 years.

I was always sort of doing what I’m doing now – I just never knew until a few years ago it had a name: technical writing.

So I just started my own business writing all that stuff that no one else likes writing (software manuals, reports, and content for anything that needs content) because I love it and I’m actually pretty good at it (so weird for me to get paid for stuff I like doing and am good at).

There was never much contest for me, as to what I was. Art was always my thing. Of course, most of my life I was told that I was good at Art, but it wasn’t a career. It was a hobby.

I thought about Zoology/Psychology/Marine Biology. All things I could do, except for the math. As hard as I looked for something else I could decide on nothing. So, I majored in Art/Art History, and I’m glad I did.

I’m an artist, and Art is in everything I do, including working for this non-profit agency helping youth and families.

This is currently the question that haunts me at night because I’m still not really sure what I want to do with my life.

I have a degree in music. I’m creative, I’m currently working as an Admin assistant in a cube. Not very creative.

I am doing a lot of music type things/writing things after work and on the side… I’m hoping eventually it will blow up into a glorious creative job one day.

*fingers crossed*
