The Future
What am I suppose to do with my life? That is probably a question that almost everyone has struggled with at one point in their lives and perhaps like me, still are asking themselves that question. Man...How am I suppose to know what I want to do with my life? I feel like I am 5 again, when I wanted to be an anthropologist/aeronautical engineer/prime minister. It seems like there are many things that I want to do but am not sure what I want to do exactly. The only difference is that at 5, I thought that I can do anything, now at 25, I am not so sure of myself anymore. Can I really do it all?
I do not think I want to be a kinesiologist anymore. After encountering some very memorable people in my travels, I want to find a career that is more meaningful, something that will benefit people and help to alleviate some of their problems. As a kinesiologist, I think that the people that I would encounter would only have "first world" problems, problems originating from a too rich society taking too many things for granted, for ex. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, caused from too much time on a computer. Hello...there are people out there who have problems affording food, let alone affording a computer.
I know that this sounds very preachy, but I cannot help but feel that my career should be something more meaningful and helpful.
I have narrowed it down to two things, get my MBA in non profit administration or do acupuncture. Not sure, both seem equally challenging. In all honesty, I am a bit scared of the unknown and my own capabilities. Can I do it? I am not as invincible as I thought. The trials and tribulations of getting older, self doubt creeps in.
