Career Crossroad
I have no idea where my life is headed now. No clue, really. I'm in a state of limbo since I'm in school full-time.

After having a variety of roles at the last company I worked at, I found that the only business function that I really liked was graphic design. Henceforth, that's why I'm in school. I can totally get lost in doing this and never get tired (well not true, but you know what I mean). A friend of mine recently commented that I'll probably be making a lot of money when I get out. While that may be true, I can't help but wonder if this is what I want to do long-term.

In the end, I don't want to feel like I did when I worked in Cupertino: Tired of my job. It was living proof for me that if leadership isn't looking out for you, all your hard work and overtime isn't going to matter much to them. And let me tell you, it really didn't take me long to get sick of being there. I felt like I was stuck there, gradually feeling like my contributions there mattered little in the grand scheme of things. I was also constantly wondering if there was anything else that I could be doing with my life...something worthwhile. Long story short, I don't think I want to feel that way again.

On a another note, some of you may know that I have aspirations in law enforcement. For some time, I wanted to submit applications to the FBI, the USSS, SJPD, and SCSD. As of more recenty, I'm also looking into LAPD. You may (and sometimes I) wonder why I want to undertake any of these potentially dangerous professions. I guess I want to do things that make a difference in society. I guess I want the authority and respect that such a profession may offer. I guess sometimes, I want my shot at heroism. I don't know.

On top of this, I'm not sure if I can get out of my reserve contract to go active-duty for the Army. I'm not even sure if I want to stay in the Army for too long. We'll see what comes my way.

Being in a career crossroad can make my head spin a little. I guess I should pray for guidance...
