Deciding on a Career

The BIG question in my life right now is "What do I want to be when I grow up?"

Yes, yes. I know that we all answered this question in kindergarten and then every year after that until middle school, but now its actually time to make a decision. I can no longer draw a picture of a firefighter, nurse, or astronaut and call my homework complete. I have to make a REAL decision. 

In a desperate attempt to move this decision making process along I grabbed Lindsay Pollack's Getting from College to Career. Pollack shares some helpful advice on not only how to pick your dream job, but also how to get your dream job. Her first piece of advice for picking your career is to make a really big list of hobbies, interests, possible jobs, skills, etc. 

Like a dedicated and faithful reader I made a REALLY BIG LIST: 
1. All-star cheerleading coach
2. School cheerleading coach
3. Cheerleading judge
4. Cheerleading event producer
5. Varsity Rep 
6. Work for an Event producer 
7. Spanish teacher
8. Yoga Instructor
9. Personal Trainer
10. Cheerleading camp director
11. Tumbling coach 
12. Inventor
13. Professional Hitchhiker
14. Astronomer
15. Astronaut
16. Travelling Circus entertainer 
17. Superhero
18. Food Taster
19. 40-year-old Virgin
20. Sports Illustrated model

I also considered becoming a frog with this bear.

I am clearly taking my complete inability to decide what I want to do with my life seriously. 

Lesson #5: You can't make everything into a joke....or can you?
