I agree about school not equaling the path to the perfect job. In fact, tonight I was just thinking about looking into volunteer opportunities - there are a few organizations in Baltimore that do what I'm interested in and could possibly need some help - that way I could do what I want to do and not worry about the how of it. Haha - in response to your comment about my 5/6-year plan, that is one of the things that kinda frustrates me. Because I set the clock ticking at about May-August '08, and I feel like I lost about 10 months there job searching. Ack! Possibly it is not possible to acheive all in 5 years. After all, I do have the rest of my life. However, I'm pretty sure I'll die early. (I don't know why, I just kinda always thought I would - although this is apparently not uncommon because I've heard a peer or two express the same thing and I think that it could be attributed to all the 'don't do drugs - or you'll DIE' 'don't drive distracted - or you'll DIE' 'don't drink alcohol too much - or you'll DIE' etc they feed us as adolescents.) Haha. I keep trying to figure out how to squeeze it all into 5 years but sometimes I wonder if that's really necessary. I've got a 5-year, vague-later-years, and retirement-years plan. Too much?

Well, whatever you plan to do, I know you will go at it with a lot of passion and courage! It's not a bad idea to go back to school - but it may not make it any easier to find the job you want. That said, in whatever you do, just remember to keep your eyes open for new opportunities. You'll get to where you wanna be. Bon courage! p.s. I like that your 5-year plan involves 6 years of doing stuff. :-P I know that's the expression, but it still made me chuckle. p.p.s. Great, insightful blog entry, by the way. I had no idea you used to dream of writing. You're good at it though! Hey dear! Well, whatever you plan to do, I know you will go at it with a lot of passion and courage!
