I’m approaching a quarter century, and I’m still figuring out what I
want to do when I grow up. So my quick takes this week are a list of all the
possibilities I’ve considered in just this past week:
1.College professor. Get to be around academia all the time and
smallest chance of helicopter parents.
2. Librarian. But not the new “media specialist” kind. The kind that
shelves books and shhs people all day.
3. Graphic designer. Making things organized and visually appealing. This
option was alluring for a few minutes after kicking ass on a Photoshop task.
4. Dominican. Not really a career choice so much as a vocation. I’ve
just been reading a lot about Dominican orders (including 3rd
order!) lately.
5. Writer. This one is always there. I love writing, even when it’s
frustrating or I have nothing to say. It’s finding my niche that’s holding me
back from fully embracing it.
6. Hermit. If anyone knows how to be a hermit on salary, let me know.
7. I couldn’t think of a seventh. Honestly, those six are mostly the
same thing: I want to be around books and ideas more than people. I’m working
on being more social and more connected to others, but I’m also embracing the
fact that I’m a major introvert. Maybe I’ll find a good balance once I grow up.
