Were you one of those lucky people who always seemed to know what they wanted to do for a career? Or are you part of what seems to be a growing group of people who can't decide on a career. Well don't worry cause I am also with you. I believe more and more people now a days have a harder time deciding on what they want to do because they have been exposed to a greater array of potential jobs. Technology has improved our lives and made us more efficient in our every day lives but its one of the main reasons for the increased indecision. More specifically the internet is the main cause of indecision in people, go back say 40 years ago and you will see that the accessibility of knowledge and up to the second updates didn't exist. When you grew up you knew what kind of jobs were available in your specific region and maybe country, and people were more inclined to decide at a young age so they can start on their career as soon as possible and start a family. Take my family for example, I am a 24 year old student living at home trying to decide what I want to do for the rest of my life. My dad at the age of 24 was finished school, working full time in his career, married and had a newborn son (me!). It just goes to show you how times have changed.
Today I have so many ideas on what I want to do as a career but I can't decide on what path to go. The internet has opened my eyes to careers that I haven't even heard of before, and has helped me increase my career ideas list. Technology has also opened up many careers for me cause I love technology and have thought about doing something tech related.
Here is a list of careers that I am thinking about getting into:
Marketing for video games or movies or fashion
Dietition
International Business
Movie Production (behind the scenes stuff)
Prosthetics/Orthopedics
Web Developer
Fashion Designer
Motion Capture Technician
Computer Technician
Firefighter (doubtful cause of bad knee)
Personal Trainer (side job)
Entrepreneur
Maybe its just I have a love and a passion for so many things in life that I can envision myself doing all of these jobs. I'm just worry that I will pick the wrong direction and have to back track and start all over again, especially as so many people are a lot farther ahead in schooling than me. Any of you have any suggestions on what I should do? Whether its on my list or not let me know what ya think.
I also have one quick update on my costume for Comic Con 2011.
Originally I was planning on doing either a modified Jay Garrick costume or JSA Liberty Files Flash, well know that has been fully scraped for another idea. This idea works out better cause my friend who I'm going with (Andres) is going to be Batman, so we decided that it would be best for me to be Superman cause the two of them fight together all the time. But we didn't want to be like everyone else so we will be doing the Batman and Superman from the Mark Millar's short 3 comic What If story where Superman is landed in Russia and is a communist. The series was called Superman: Red Son. The costumes are a bit different so we will stand out even more.
I'll be doing a modernized version of this Superman
Here is the Batman that Andres will be creating.
Thats all for tonight, Nerdbots roll out!! (Optimus Prime voice)
Andrew: life doesn't get any easier with so many choices dots it?
