First Entry to figuring out my life
I have created this blog because I am having a hard time in motivating and also figuring out what I want to do with my life. I am hoping that this blog will help me to overcome the feeling that there is no meaning and purpose of life.
I guess I should at least introduce myself. I have currently graduated in December from college (or Uni for the people outside of USA) with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in China studies. I was going to also complete a theater arts minor if I took the spring semester, but financially it wasn’t so favorable. My original plans for post college was to attend Medical school or Optometry, but I have either been unaccepted before any interviews or the interviews went back. So now I am question what I should be doing with my life. It is mainly an open book with unlimited opportunities. In the mean times I’m working part time at a Pearle vision which is giving me some more experience with the optic field and also providing me some more experience interacting with customers.
This job at Pearle vision has been great opportunity to get over my shyness and solidarity to actually become more interested in other people’s lives. Sure it is starting to become one of those jobs where everything is starting to become a repetitive cycle, but it is still keeping me going because of how much I don’t know about the field. I’m terrified of getting bored with the professional job in the future because when I become an expert at something then that means it is based on repetition. I feel like I wont be able to just stay still. The problem with moving on to something new is that the job is going to be my source of income. I need to start forming multiple streams of income in order avoid this disaster .
I partly was also thing because I get tired of doing something after a while I was also thing of maybe going into the television or movie business. Because the life style keeps changing around so much and so quickly that you can never get “bored”. But after three months of applying to so many jobs and not getting anything it isn’t working out. I have noticed now that there are two ways for you to get into the media industry: One is to have connections from friends and they bring you in; or two do internships when you are in college because they wont pay you but you will start forming the connections and experience to get an actual job.
So anyway currently my move in life is to keep working at Pearle Vision as of now and apply for Optometry school for 2010. If I don’t anywhere in July then I guess another new decision would need to be decided upon. I am thinking of the anime of Hajime no Ippo which is such a motivational series which shows that if you have the determination you can achieve anything.
