I'm having kind of a hard time. I'm still in college and I'm taking it very slowly because I have no clue which direction to go in. I've considered so many career paths it isn't even funny. I'm trying to balance several things in considering this:
1. Whatever I end up doing, it has to be something that feels natural to me.
2. At a soul level, I feel a deep urge that it be something that either helps people or somehow contributes to the transition, represents the incoming energy patterns rather than the old ones.
3. There is some fear going into my decision-making process, which I'm trying to eliminate. I'm getting closer. But basically, the lower part of me wants to be sure that I've got a roof over my head and would rather avoid debt where possible. The economy isn't doing well and I don't see things getting any better and so part of me wants to reach high for something that will pay decently and remain high in demand. Key word, security.
I am finding that the third criterion is often incompatible with the first two, and I feel that it's the wrong motivation for making that kind of decision. I'm un-weaving that thread from the tapestry but it will take time.
I was working at a movie theater this time last year and I made a split-second decision to just quit the job. I've never done well in retail, either. I can't bear working in an evironment where the company's goal is profit and all of my energy and sweat goes to making the fat cats who sit on the board richer.
Within a week of quitting a job opened up for me and now I work for a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and fostering of spiritual wisdom among other things. Much happier doing that and now I'm not so sure if I want to finish school at all.
Complicating matters is the fact that my wife is from Norway and wants to go back (and it is much nicer there in so many ways!). So as of now the goal is to be back in Norway by Summer 2009. I'll need to learn the language. Big change ahead of me! If we follow through with that, I have no clue at all what I'll do. But I'll find something.![]()
