It's sometimes difficult to figure out where we want to go in life. Some people are very lucky enough to figure out what exactly they plan to do when they leave school. They know their interests, what their strengths are, the things they are good at. I'm a little envious of those people because until I was in my thirties, I had no idea. It's fascinating seeing young people sail through college and university. My eldest son has 2 paths in front of him, he can speak 4 languages: English, Spanish, Italian and Russian. So, he's trying to figure out if he will study linguistics or tourism. Either way he knows he wants to do something.
What can be a little sad though, is going to all that trouble and studying for a Bachelors degree only to find out it's not what you want. Has that happened to you? What happened? What did you do instead?
I would love to know what subjects you studied at university. As a mature student, I chose the path of psychology which I would never in a million years would have thought I would actually enjoy but it's really interesting. I've also learned a lot about myself, by studying later in life. Things like realising what I am capable of, what kind of learner I am and how I study. It's funny how life turns out.
I think today's blog entry is just to touch on your educational lives, no matter how old you are. Remembering that life is not linear. It just doesn't plan out the way we expect it to. And that's OK.
Comment below and tell me what your strengths are. Let's talk!
