Real World After College

(Source: abstrusegoose.com)

Lots of us have ideas about their “dream jobs”. There are two contradicting views on dream jobs:

1) some see it as a life calling, we are predestined to do something on our life, to help people, do something beneficial etc, everybody should follow their dreams, and do their “dream jobs”.

2) dream job is a complete social illusion. TV and other mass media are implanting ideas about “dream jobs” into our heads. Idea is false because every job is hard, no job is ideal, and there are not enough “dream jobs” around. Everybody want to do arts or modelling, but it is simply not economically sustainable.

If I didn’t have to worry about finding a job afterwards, I would so double major in Music and Theology or History for college…Being practical is dumb, we should just study what interests us and if it’s really our passion, we could find a way to make a living out of it. So many of my friends are just doing something “practical,” like Business or Pre-Med, or just majoring in what their parents want. There’s so much pressure on college students to know what they want to do, and honestly, we’ve only been on this planet for 18 years, how are we supposed to know what we want to do for next 50 years?

Haha sorry, just a little rant because lately every single person has been asking me what I want to do with my life and I haven’t the slightest idea.
