Some ideas about my career path

 


A few things have been crossing my mind when I think of my career path. As I am a year from graduation....finally LOL...I am excited about the possibilities that this degree could bring me. I need to stop worrying about what occurred with my undergraduate degree and stay positive that this degree will be beneficial to me.  There are so many opportunities out there and I intend to find the right one for me.  Having said that, I am going to start looking at different kinds of jobs out there in the world of gerontology.  I want to see what some of these jobs require.  When it's some kind of experience that I don't have, I want to figure out how to get some of that experience between now and then.  I may not be able to do that, but if I don't at least try I will never know.  And trying is better than nothing!

I am also going to expand my job search beyond Greensboro.  Don't get me wrong, I love Greensboro.  It has been good to me for the last 30 years, but I am starting to think that maybe this is not where I am supposed to be for the rest of my life.  Maybe God has plans for me somewhere else.  Maybe there's another community that will benefit from having me be a part of it.  I don't know yet, but I know now that I am open to the possibility.  I am ready to plant my roots somewhere.  Now you'd think that after being here for 30 years that I would have roots.  I really don't.  I thought I did and at several points during my life, I could say that I did, but that is no longer the case.  There's nothing keeping me here if I feel the need to explore something new.  Not that I'm going to leave, but it's nice to have that option in my emotional bank.

Ah, well.  Just a few things that I am thinking about while seeing what is out there while I rebuild my life. I'm getting a good foundation set, so it's time to start layering onto that!
