The Future
The future is one thing I don't especially like thinking about. I have enough stress as it is so I don't feel the need to add another stresser on my shoulders. I wish I could just live day by day instead of worrying about what is to come next. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't organized. The main subject that stresses me out about the future is what I want to do as an occupation when I graduate. Right now my major is education. I want to be an elementary teacher. I bounce around with what age I want to teach and the pro's and con's of each. I then think I would also like to do something with business because I was always the top in my marketing classes in high school. But then I bounce off more ideas. My favorite subjects in school are sociology and psychology. I just don't know what occupations I could do that I would like doing for the rest of my life. I don't want to switch occupations. I want to pick one and keep one. I want to do it so I can retire early with good money. I would love to be a secretary at a high school because I actually love busy work like doing attendance and things like that. I think they don't make as much money though. I am planning on moving back to Waynesville, where I grew up. I loved growing up there and I think it is a great area to start a family. I also use that as the basis of my occupation. There is not a huge variety of choices in Waynesville. There is teaching, owning a business, being an engineer on the army base, or getting a minimum wage job. The last option is not a choice really. I think teaching would be ideal but I have no experience with children so I am nervous about that. I also think it would be the funnest to teach. I wouldn't mind being a speech therapist or reading therapist because I know waynesville school's are always needing those but my speech isn't the best. I was thinking about being a nutritionist because I am very interested in nutrition. I don't know. I should be able to figure something out in the next three years of my life.

Alley - take a breath and don't push yourself too hard to find these answers. I have read several studies which state that most college students are not ready to make these decisions until they are in their Junior year of college. Shadow a few jobs - this will help you decide. Ms. A
