I am not in school to hide from facing the pressures of seeking real employment and working for a horrible boss. In fact, I am in school to improve my position and increase my earning potential. The hard work doesn't scare me, and working with difficult people don't either. I have already done some of the most difficult work, and dealt the most difficult people. I have been preparing my entire life to enter a competative workforce.
I have chosen a field of study that I enjoy: finance. There are always more complicated equations and derivates to learn, and it forces you to keep up on current events. My career will make me a well informed citizen, participating in economic events and debates. If I do my job right, I can influence many people, from big to small, higher class and lower, for better and for worse. Why is there reason to be scared?
School has conditioned me to short term goals. These classes last only a few months, then new ones start. My most distant goal was to graduate. Graduation is getting closer. What is the next goal? Owning a house? Kids? Retirement? I'm not sure, and without these defined goals, I'm afraid that work will just become work.
After school, will their be a life changing climax to work forward too. My career may be exciting, but will I have already reached the pinnacle of my life?
This boredom scares me.
