The ever present question in my life right now is :
What career path should I take?
Luckily, I am not alone. Countless college graduates are wondering the same thing.
To pass the time and put a little money in my pocket I am now a freelance writer for Demand Studios. I just published my first article with them about the "Average Cost of Air Conditioning in America" - LAME.
Career path? WRONG.
My ideal path? Teaching.
I had begun looking into what would be required to do the alternative teaching licensing program so that I could be a high school journalism teacher.
However, I was reminded last night that a teachers salary is not nearly as impressive as my potential earnings should I return to school, get my masters degree in PR and subsequently pursue a corporate position.
Blah blah blah.
Yes - I realize that.
If I was only concerned with myself then this would be an easy decision. I could teach, live relatively cheap throughout the year and then really enjoy my nice summer breaks! Oh man - so IDEAL! But I am well aware that this is a decision that will impact my future wife and family. So I should probably factor them into the equation. I want to be able to provide a comfortable way of life. *However, do not confuse 'comfortable' with 'rich'.
My biggest fear is that I will not be able to provide my family with what they need/want and thus every day ends with me looking in the mirror and seeing failure incarnate. I would gladly choose single life over that kind of personal living hell.
So - I'm kind of stuck at the moment.
