Career path!

Really good options for Majors/careers I can go in the direction of - these are probably between what I should choose. - - -keep in mind that I want to be able to live in other countries, so all the while I want to be learning languages!- - -

I am making these possible decision choices because they are things I believe I am capable of. At first I feel let down when I say, "I can do THAT" but then I realize, this is what I should have been looking for the whole time!

- Computers - anything really, since I don't know enough about them yet to think of any categories. good because I love to understand how things work down to the tiny threads of a dress, then where it was picked and who dyed the woven cloth, and who ships the items to china, then to walmart... that sort of thing ;) I mean I like to break things down, data-wise... that's fun.

- music - voice and piano

- languages - lyrical, communication, exciting long-term, curiosity.

- voice acting, acting. Good for my confidence if nothing else, I am a very emotional, dramatic person. Now I need to learn how to create my own style and accept myself, then I could be an actress, regardless of whether I am the kind of actress that today's media would accept as an employee. This is very related to writing, which I want to do my whole life.

- writing: help other people write, learn how to edit, learn how to work with others as a team and interpret what they are trying to say in their writing. Also, write myself-- learn to let my creativity go right out the window, into the sky, and create a sunset of a color never seen before.

Now that I'm finished writing this, let me clarify: these are things I want to get good at in life. The top one-- computers-- is more iffy, since I don't think I'll learn about computers quite as well without going to college for it, but the rest of the items here don't require that quite in the same way.

Well, I like this. This helps me to think about what I really might do. I was inspired to write this after imagining what it would be like to work at a Google data center. I have trouble picking a major when I don't know where I'll be living or what kind of tasks I would be working on with that as my career. When I imagine working somewhere specific, in a place that I know exists and seems tangible (like Google's Santa Monica, for example) working at a specific data center near my home really helped me think of it in a more rational, possible way-- and opened up the door for ideas of working anywhere else, too. I just had to see a little glimpse, and THEN I understood. Which means IF I RESEARCH MY CAREER OPTIONS, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PATH until I understand those little types of details, I'll have a much easier time of making a decision. Because if a decision is tangible, it's not scary. Interesting...  Yay!
