My varied interests make career decisions difficult. From writer, librarian, arts worker, trapeze artist, charity worker, graphic artist, photographer, lighting designer/tech; only writer and artist prevail.
My studies are directly relevant to my career aspirations. To a certain extent I found it easy to tailor the course to my requirements.
I have a strong work ethic and a strong tendency towards critical thinking and careful planning (this is actually my way of procrastinating) before deciding on anything. This is tentatively balanced with creativity and spontaneity.
People who make various decisions solely on the basis of it being "the thing to do", without thinking it through first and exploring their interests— often end up dropping out soon after. Those who 'stay on' solely out of financial necessity or the pressure of other people’s expectations, are seldom truly happy.
In attempting to circumvent this situation, I find it hard sometimes to quit cogitating and act. This may prevent me from making minor mistakes, but also prevents me from going for anything -- a disastrous mistake.
Issues with time and confidence threaten to derail me, however I have unconditional support from loved ones; and interests and skills to build upon, should things not work out as planned/hoped for.
