“So what are you going to be when you grow up?” – This is probably my most feared sentence. Ever. I remember in junior high we had a substitute teacher come in and tell us that if we didn’t know what we wanted to do then – we would basically be doomed for the rest of our lives and I went home crying to my mom because I didn’t know what I wanted to do (and clearly according to the substitute this meant I was straight fucked). As an English major the most common assumption is “Oh so you’re going to be a teacher?” WHO DECIDED THIS WAS THE DEFAULT QUESTION? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. Anyways, I always just answer that no, teaching isn’t my only option and that an English major is actually more a degree in speaking and writing properly – and I think that being able to communicate will get me somewhere (hopefully).
Basically I have zero idea what I want to do when I’m done school. To be completely honest if I could have any job in the world I would want to work in the head office of a cosmetics line and work as one of the artists or with the development or even the advertising of the product – mostly because other then the people I love, the thing in life I am most passionate about is makeup. All I hope is that whatever I do I’m happy. Maybe I’ll become a novelist and write lots of books, or perhaps I’ll work as a personal assistant for a CEO. WHO KNOWS! But for now, I’m just avoiding the world’s scariest question one day at a time.
