Physics or psychology? Law or marketing? Nokia or Sony Ericsson? Tea or coffee? Sneakers or platforms? Decisions are an inevitable part of life but to someone as fickle-minded as I am, they can be torturous. Even more so for those around me who have to deal with waiting a whole 5 minutes while I decide if I want whipped cream with my ice-blended mocha.
How the hell am I going to decide on a career when I can't even make up my mind which shoes to wear in the morning? That is not to say I wish someone else would make up my mind for me. I can imagine asking my family to help me decide on a career - medicine, medicine, medicine. Whether it is me being contradictory or at least beginning to show some sense of decisiveness(?), medicine is the one thing I have made up my mind not to do.
As for the other career options, I suppose I'll just have try them all out before I settle down to one. Then again, with the long list of possibilities, I may never settle down. But that's okay too, so long as I try them out and think it through instead of blindly jabbing my finger at one and basing my whole life around it.
The whole point of this blog is...The whole point of this blog is simply to vet my feelings of frustrations and to offer some simple advice to like-minded people out there - those also suffering from this affliction. When I'm faced with a particularly tough decision, I simply put myself a few years forward and think of which of the choices I would be most proud of, which would bear the least consequences, and it becomes a no-brainer.
And with my career aspirations, I know I could never rest knowing there is still unchatered territory waiting to be explored. So, I will sail the open seas far and wide before coming home with the comforting thought of a life well-lived.
