Realizing What You Majored In Has Nothing To Do With Your Dream
Fighting your way out
If you would have asked me what my dream job was 10 years ago the answer would have been to play soccer. Of course, at a certain point, that dream collapsed. I went through most of college without clinging to a new dream job. I double majored and had a plan, but I generally just thought of that plan as getting a job and having hobbies. Making enough money to do the things that I enjoy.
After 4 years of undergrad and 2 years of graduate school, I found myself in a career. The only issue, it has nothing to do with my new dream job.
If you’ve checked out any of my other articles you’d notice that I have a dream to write novels. Something that I am very (very) slowly trying to achieve.
Working a full-time job to pay bills while I also work to achieve my goals on the side kind of sucks. It means I have less time to work on what I want to work on. It means that after I make my way home after work, workout, make and eat dinner I’m probably exhausted. Not only does this mean less productivity, but it also leads to a kind of depression.
