Uncharted Territory
Obviously it's been a while. I've turned 23 most recently and been on the prowl for a new job (hopefully career) lately with little luck considering I have no idea what I want to do in life anymore. I am amazingly good at doing research and oddly enough I actually enjoy it. Unfortunately, knowing this does not make the job hunt any easier as I also enjoy working in Human Resources as well as doing marketing and advertising. I wish that there was some way to put all of these amazing things together into a ball and make it my career without having to go back to school for a few more years and figure out what I'm doing with my life. If you have any suggestions for a grad with a B.S. in Anthropology with minors in Archaeology and Entrepreneurship who loves to do these things...just let me know. ;) I'm all ears.
I sincerely dislike that our society seems to be forcing us to choose what we want in life when we are so young and un-knowledgeable about the world. How is anybody ready to choose what they want for life when we have so many years ahead of us (with the exception of horrible tragedies)? Why do universities not have more co-op programs so that we may discover what we enjoy? Why do majors require that we do the boring non-major stuff first rather than jumping into our "career choice" in order to find out whether it's the right choice?
Okay, I'll get off of that soap box!
Next up....Obamacare! Honestly, I'd rather pay more in taxes like Canada and get "free-but-not-really-free" healthcare. It would cut out the majority of my worrying throughout the year and people would be in much better conditions throughout the U.S., theoretically of course. Instead, I am getting booted from my work insurance because they think it will be cheaper for me to go through Obamacare. Unfortunately....that doesn't quite seem the case without using ALL of my premium tax credit which would very possibly put me in the position of paying it back if I happen to make more income for 2014 than I expected. Is anybody else having these problems?
