In a previous post I have mentioned my job and how much I
enjoy it. I even changed my educational plan to pursue a career in Public
Relations/Community Relations. However,
there is a constant internal struggle between where I would like my life to go
and where it is at currently.
In reference to my job I am currently working
part-time. Now do not get me wrong I am
very grateful to even have a job but working part time and paying bills does
not leave much room for savings.
The spot I’m in is that I want to gain experience in this
field and I question how hard it would be for me to be working full time and
working toward my masters but I also feel like I am behind in some fashion
because I am not working full time.
At my company there
are full time job positions open all the time but they are for positions that I
do not see my future being in. So if I applied for those positions it would
just be for the sake of getting a full time job.
I recently read an article that addresses those in my
generation and how we feel entitled and we think as if we shouldn’t have to
“pay our dues” as it was said. This got me thinking…am I being impatient? Do I
simply need to need to put in my time and good things will come? Or is this
something that I truly should be concerned about?
Earlier this week I was told the quote:
“Worrying is like a rocking chair it gives you something to
do but gets you nowhere” – Unknown
I am constantly worrying about everything. I know that the
things that are meant to happen will happen regardless of my “plans.” So for now like the other aspects in my life
my career remains in limbo as well.
