Well, Now that I'm starting this blog up, i might as well use this time to reflect on the thoughts I have been having.
It's crazy, really, how many options in this world I have to have a career in so many fields. I've never felt more pulled in so many directions than I do now. I'm currently pursuing my bachelors degree in Human Development with the intention of getting a Master's degree in social work to work within hospitals dealing with families in need of counseling and help. I'm about a year away from achieving this goal, but suddenly, my mind wants to be pulled towards things like business and medicine!
One job I am working is as a child development specialist at Odessey house in Salt lake city. It is a facility where I work with the children of drug addicts who are residents of the Odessey House. The children who are there have been exposed to sex, drugs, violence, and emotional abuse, and it is my job to help them become developmentally stable in their lives. I love this job and it is within the field of work I wish to continue in. I know my current degree will help me achieve this goal, and I couldn't be happier.
I also work another job as Inventory manager at orange Leaf Frozen yogurt in Bountiful and Farmington, Utah. I love this job! As stressful as it is, i enjoy every moment I have with it. I love that I have learned so much about how a business is run and how I can contribute to this. This is what pulls me to get a business degree, and it is crazy how much you can do with this degree and how good it feels to correctly run a business.
I am also having a hard time with not being involved in the medical field. I Love medicine and how it functions and is essential to our lives. I want to dearly to be involved some how as a nurse or medical assistant or even a doctor! I am pulled left and right as to what I should pursue, if I should get a medical degree/certificate or not. I know it is a stable work field, and I KNOW I would love and Enjoy it, and more importantly be respected for it. I keep trying to tell myself I can just do everything at once, and work these crazy jobs and be this amazingly successful person. But in reality, I know I need to sit and think about all this, and pray and decide what is good for me to do, and what will eventually bless my family in the long run. I am not in the running to be married right now, and it's hard for me to think about me being the bread winner within my marriage, but I take too much pride in the fact that I like to work and I like to be paid to work.
So Ultimately, at the moment, I am sticking with my major and my jobs, but within the next few weeks, I will be making a decision either to go and get a medical certificate of some sort, or to just suck it up and deal with the career choice I have made. It is just so hard when what I want to do for my career is just so demanding of a field.
