I have been a little absent from this blog over the past two months. I have knuckled down, as some may say, on my diploma studies and handed in the last few units. Tomorrow one of my trainers will be out to visit me, hopefully for the last time! I am glad I have got this far and as much as I want to continue on with my work, I think I may take a break from this career. I am young and there are many different types of jobs I can work in, I don't want to settle into just one in my life.
I am trying to figure out what else I am good at. I love working with computers so I am thinking a desk job, but I don't really have experience. I would like to study graphic design, but believe I am not good enough or have creative ideas. We are expected to know what we want to do with ourselves when we grow up and make decisions on what we learn at school based on what our careers might be when we finished. How do we know what we really want to do at 15, 16 or 17? I have always wanted to work with kids, but I also like to read, I like to use computers and I enjoyed working at a clothing store as a casual. Do I always want to work in child care, or is there something else out there that I want to do, or I am good at but not know it? I am almost 20 and I don't know where I can see myself in 5 years.
For now I will stick to child care, as I have spent several years studying to become a qualified worker in the sector, but who knows what I might be doing in a year, 5 years or even 10 years. Maybe a job from home, maybe a job that takes me travelling all over the world. Live your life how you want to live it. Don't like it how it currently is? Change it, make it worth living the best you could possibly be.
All for now, Rhi
