So now that I’m a high school graduate, I should probably pick a future. Yeah, I know this is completely unrealistic to decide in one sitting or even in the course of a summer, but I’m going to try! Anyhow, please vote for what you think I should do in the comments.
Future 1: History Channel Producer
Explanation: I would simply love working for the History Channel. I love watching the programs on America history, mostly the ones about the presidents. I am a geek. Get over.
Positive: I would get to major in History in college, which would thrill me beyond pieces.
Negative: Ummm… how in the world do you get a job at the History Channel? I wouldn’t know where to start. I would probably have to go to school for TV production as well, which I don’t want to do. And if I don’t get that job at the History Channel, I’ll probably be stuck teaching history with my history degree, which is bad.
Future 2: Bakery Owner
Explanation: I’ve always had a passion for cooking, but mostly just deserts and bakery items, so I would rather open my own bakery than my own restaurant.
Positive: Great morning schedule. I’ll be done working by noon just about everyday.
Negative: All that pesky business stuff. I suppose I could always get a partner with a business degree, but then I wouldn’t be the sole receiver of profit, which is bad. Also, if I opened my own bakery I would be pretty much stuck wherever I did it, which is both good and bad. But this concerns me mostly in regards to my future husband, who I would never want to hold back in his career, so flexibility is valued.
Future 3: Secretary of Procreation
Explanation: This is really a fantasy future since this cabinet position doesn’t actually exist. But I would love to do something in politics, but without having to choose an actual party, because I would have a tough time doing that.
Positive: I would get to major in Political Science, which would be awesome. And I could live in Washington. And I could marry a Senator.
Negative: Ummm, I might have to commit to a party in order to further pursue this future. I really don’t know if I can do that.
Other possible career choices involve majoring in Hospitality or Chemistry (hey, I’m just crazy enough to do it). If I was a little better at bowling I would consider pursuing that, because I really do love it. I also would really enjoy being on the MPAA board where they watch the movies, count the curse words, boobs, and blood, and then assign a rating (y’know, R or PG-13).
Or could I just get someone to pay me for updating this site? I could be the first professional fangirl! Now that’s a future.
