A decision I have been mulling over since I was 10 years old... What do I want do be when I grow up?
It's been 13 years since then, and I haven't made a damn bit of progress. Well, I guess I've got some progress. I began "working" when I was 12. Babysitting, yard work, those types of things. My first real job was working at a deli. I was 15, and I loved it. I was able to buy my first car, all on my own, before I even went to get my permit. In fact, my car was insured with plates before I signed up for my road test. I took my road test in my own car. I have not yet been unemployed.
I'm a workaholic.. and always looking for ways to make extra money. I went to college for Criminal Justice. At the time... I don't know what I wanted to be; but I wanted to help people. During my 2 years at college I signed up to be a Crime Victims Counselor, which is volunteer. All while working 2 to 3 jobs. I still want to help people, and I still want to pursue Criminal Justice, in some way. Just how?
I've also always been interested in Photography, Journalism, and Psychology. This has proven difficult because I've never been able to focus on one thing at a time, I'm always jumping. I want to do everything!
Unfortunately when I was in college, I had a difficult time with budgeting my money. What I should have done was saved most of the money I was making, since I didn't really have any expenses. Well, that didn't happen. So now not only do I work as a Residential Counselor, at a whopping $10.64 an hour, but I'm in debt from going to school, and flat broke. So how do I move forward? Especially not knowing what I want to do.
