Sorry I'm so late on commenting...I've had this post marked since I first read it and kept putting off actually commenting because I couldn't figure out exactly what to say.<br /><br />Basically, I feel you 100%. I know my current job is a good first step, but I don't know what I want to be the second (or third) step, and I'm not really sure how to figure that out. And of course there's the whole US/Chile issue, plus questions like when will we have kids, what will Rodolfo do for a career (since that affects me too), all that family stuff. Growing up is fun! I think it's great that our generation is really trying to tackle these topics head-on rather than just floating around waiting for life to happen, but it's also kind of stressful and uncomfortable at times.<br /><br />So far I feel like if I take some time to consider all the factors and options and then just let them marinate, I'll get a little tiny answer - I would love to sit down and solve all my "problems" at once, but that doesn't happen. I haven't had any huge epiphanies yet, but there have been little moments of "ok, I want this to be included in my future." For now, that's enough progress to keep me sane because I figure over the next few years, as those moments accumulate, I'll get a better idea of what I want my future as a whole to look like, at which point I can start figuring out how to get there.<br /><br />PS. Love Jenny, she is so wise - did you know we were in the same sorority together at UCLA?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607426693149156398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457912037325810237.post-49665937406629202622009-10-29T14:32:51.948-03:002009-10-29T14:32:51.948-03:00Preaching to the choir my friend!
I studied Sport...Preaching to the choir my friend!<br /><br />I studied Sports Management and sometimes wonder if I should go back to that instead of photography, a field in which I had NO experience in when I started. But I am my own boss, which as you said is pretty much awesome. However, then I wonder, would it be more satisfying climbing the ranks of a big company? I think what is nice about having bosses is that there's always someone there to kick you in the ass if you're slacking off or pat you on the back if you're doing well. With my business, both of those roles have to be played by....me.<br /><br />I don't know, there's a lot to talk about on this subject. But I'd definitely be down for a little career oriented happy hour one day. We'll be back in Santiago soon so I'll send you an email.Mamacita Chilenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00591882075295087687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457912037325810237.post-35948571555521112592009-10-29T13:21:23.301-03:002009-10-29T13:21:23.301-03:00Don't worry! You're not alone! I think the...Don't worry! You're not alone! I think these are normal feelings for anyone who is finally done school and venturing out into the world. It's scary and it's good to ask questions. This period of instability and wondering is pretty common at the beginning but just take comfort in the fact that one day you will be somewhere living a stable comfortable life and will be looking back at the journey that brought you there. The journey is the part where you learn the most about yourself and about life.<br /><br />I'm in the same situation as you and finding that my once concrete goals are now changing and becoming fuzzier and I don't know what it is I want anymore (career wise). So just enjoy the ride and keep working towards whatever it is you feel "pulled" to! Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457912037325810237.post-22523860272094548222009-10-29T10:22:26.408-03:002009-10-29T10:22:26.408-03:00These are definitely good questions to be asking. ...These are definitely good questions to be asking. It's good to find your path.<br /><br />I think you might be stuck in your logical left brain on this one. What does your right brain have to say about it? Is there anything in particular that inspires you? Business ideas or future possibilities? <br /><br />I'd say give it time, but you've been in a state of inquiry for awhile it seems. Perhaps you just need to choose a path and if you get down it and realize it's not the right one, choose again?<br /><br />Good luck!! ;)<br /><br />SaludosMaeskizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289291445097417350noreply@blogger.com
