Haven't been posting much here...

I know I haven't been posting much on this blog. I'm kind of at a standstill at this point I guess. I kind of have an opportunity possibly... But I still need to meet with the woman. We've had one phone interview and have talked a very minimal amount through email. But she wants to meet in person. We've yet to schedule this but I'll probably send her my availability tomorrow. She's been out of town the past 2 weeks and said she should be free sometime this week.

Here's hoping to good things.

But anyway... I just suddenly come up with inspiration for this post. Ever have that relative that is the go-getter type when you... well, aren't? I have one of those. She's that "I'm going to conquer the world" spirited type that I wish I was. But I'm not. And I doubt I will ever become that person unless there is a pill for that.

Either way, she's constantly asking me questions that I haven't been prepared for... Because where I got my higher education isn't about having a well defined marketing degree so much as a semi-there business degree. So I know a lot about business... But not marketing. [Which I will discuss in further detail in a different post in the future]

The fact of the matter is... She expects me to know exactly what I want to do with my life because she knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life when she graduated. She expects me to know exactly who I want to work for and what position I want to do. But honestly, I don't have a clue. And I know I'm not alone in that feeling. Lots of people have no clue what they want to do after college.

And it's not for lack of wanting to know what I want to do. I'd like to know too! But I'm a "I need to really experience it before I can really decide if it's what I want to do with the rest of my LIFE!" I'm an experience person over the "read a book and I'll know if I like it" type. And that's hard to do when you've been in school for most of your life. But then again, many places won't even look at you if you don't have a bachelor's degree anymore. It really is a catch 22.

-sigh- I think that's all for this post. If I think of anything else, I'll add it.
