My Career Plan!

CLASSES! JOB-PICKING! Care-giving is a good job, and it pays enough that some people (SOME) make it their career choice, even very late in life. So it's great and everything. But it wasn't hard to get there, and I want to have a job that takes more intellect, I guess! :)

So in thinking about my next classes and job choices, I had to pick my career, too. I think I've got a pretty good plan here....

It's still a little bit iffy, and I need to research more about interpreting and translation careers, and what type of music bachelor's I'm going to want. I also am contemplating squeezing in some sort of business classes, since that might be necessary if I'm going to run my own piano lesson teaching business!! (aah. that's a half-hearted scream.) Here you go:

my career plan.
Now: *Keep my NAC job. (it's waaaay part-time, I need another one.)
*Start working as an piano accompanist - I need EXPERIENCE! (In sight-reading and performance)
if not, get another care-giving job, NOT a waitressing job or something!! Look for a HOSPITAL care-giving job--!!! (better $$ I think...?)
*Also: read my bible daily, exercise daily and lose weight to be happy, study piano and languages.

Education steps:Get SOME sort of bachelor's in Music, preferably something that gives me a lot of skill so that I am a GOOD piano teacher, at university level.

While I study music, I also need to learn one language. If I can finish one, I'll move on to another, but first I start with Japanese. 日本語 will likely take more than enough time. (Next in line are Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian... well, unless I decide to focus solely on Asian languages.)

?Can I take this B.A. with me to Japan and work as a language teacher there? (or music teacher??) yeah, That's the questionable part. I have to GO to Japan for a while, at least, if I want to work as an interpreter.

Career Results:Ability to work as a professional, skilled piano teacher, opportunity to continue school and study languages.

Get the kind of language degree that is very advanced in the direction I want to go in so that I can continue as an interpreter who really knows what she's doing in the line of interpreting that I want.

translation, work for a translation agency--?
teach piano lessons
know business stuff so that I do well in my career
keep learning more languages and traveling

Pretty good. This is quite a bit more lined up than I've ever had it before! I can do this. And I love the plan!! Only issue: money. (?whatever shall I do about that?? GET MARRIED!! ahhh nooo noo just kidding. Until and if that happens, I have to find a way to make it all myself....)
