Career Confusion

Growing up and deciding what to do with your life is hard business man. Finding a direction is SO much easier said than done!
Lately I have been trying to decide what path/career I want to work towards. Enrollment for the spring semester is just around the corner and I don't want to blindly just sign up for classes and hope that they fit a requirement anymore.
I mean, I have narrowed it down to a career in Human Services, but I'm not sure where I fit in this helping field. Social work or corrections? Or a mix of both??
I met with my teacher today to get some direction and advice and now I feel more lost than ever. I just would like things to fall in my lap. And all make sense. But I suppose that is the lazy tendency in me.
While I would love to be a probation office I am afraid that I lack the toughness to enforce the law aspect of that job. And I don;t want to just provide therapy for clients. That seems too draining and boring for me. Plus lets face it, I don't think I could sit and listen to other people talk all day-I have a loud mouth and I like to talk.
Ugh see where my frustration is?
Hmm here's to hoping that career stuff makes sense soon!

  1. I think you sitting and listening to people talk/complain all day is a hilarious image.

    I could see you working in a social work capacity with young adults/teens. You'd be great at that because you're super laid back, but can also be really encouraging and driven to get the job done.
