It looks like I am starting to get something set up for my summer and my future life. It looks like it is time for me to leave things behind and start to think about the future, and what jobs I would like to do in the future. Career idenity is something we all have to go through and I am still in the process of career idenity. A lot of kids had an idea when they are young what they want to do for a career while others have to go around with the rat race.
Back then, I went through many career choices. I wanted to become a cop in one day, a fireman another day, a doctor another day, and even an astronaut. Now I know it is very hard to be an astronauts and I think going into burning buildings are a pain the butt. I liked cooking so I wanted to become a cook - you know I can and that could be a part time job - very realistic. Running a restaurant might be very fun. I also had my heart set on to education - I wanted to become a teacher. But I didn't know what I wanted to teach - I tried out certain subjects such as history and science, and I realized the environment that I might be into while being a teacher.
I thought about the graphic design/web design career track and it seemed like I was very good at it. But once I got into the real world doing that job, I thought that job was a pain in the butt and you have to go along with the companys standards. I also liked computers so I went into computers but I found out the computer career was a plumber/electrician type deal.
It seemed like I have some idenity problems I have with careers and I was starting to think I should continue my education so I can find out what careers might be good for me. Now I am trying to enter the real world and try to find a job, and it looked like it was a recession. But it looked like I was interested in going to stores and restaurant. I notice when they change the layout for McDonalds and how they advertise new things more McDonalds - I am trying to find out what is cool and what is not cool, and I am always interested in emerging trends and fads. Maybe something into business such as stores or resturants might be very good. As I was improving my education, I was starting to see some flaws into businesses and town layout, especially in my hometown. Where are all the chain stores such as Aeropostale and Hollister that are in shopping malls in my home town - it seems like it is just a small town atmosphere that has a bunch of coffee shops.
I am also interested in why certain people do the things they do and how a society supposed to work. I can make some pretty good predictions about what is going to happen in the next few years, etc.
I tried searching for the degree and it looks like a business degree such as organizational behavior might work. I heard about people going into that degree but I can't put my finger on it. I am trying to grasp what this degree covers but it seems to cover more the working conditions in a certain environment. I think I was exposed to that theory when I was taking a contemporary positive psychology course and it seems like there are a lot of discussions about working conditions. Maybe I should try to figure out what I am going to do but it might be having myself in a higher up position in a store or a restaurant. I do have some ideas of what is going to be cool and what not going to be cool.
