Future Dilemmas
As a college student, I’m pretty much living in a bubble. The job market doesn’t matter to me at the moment. My biggest worries include getting my homework done on time and not failing any tests. Thank God I’m a college student.
But what happens when I graduate? What happens when I get thrown into the real world and have to take care of myself? These are questions that plague many young people, particularly me. I’m a worrier by nature and the fact that I’m in a major that is not known for providing steady jobs or paying very well doesn’t help. To my dad’s dismay, I’m still striving to be a journalist.
Right now, I’m content pursuing what I love. But what about when I finish college and the time comes to find a job that will pay the bills? Will I regret my decision? Every time this thought comes to me, I try hard to push it away. I don’t like thinking about the uncertainties of the future. Instead, I enjoy being a bit naive. It keeps me from going crazy.
So instead of worrying if my degree in journalism will get me a steady job, I worry about my next MM2100 assignment. At least the class assignments are something I have control over.
I have two more years of this bliss, and I intend to take full advantage of it.
