So now I am like this sixteen year old girl confused with what she wants to do in her life – which is very normal for a teenager

I know, I wanted to do fashion designing but I wasn’t sure about that now. I wasn’t confident about that though I still wanted to do that. Me, being clueless and an idiot told my dad that I wanted do engineering (engineering and medical being the so-called safe options). I made a decision without giving any thought to it. My dad was happy, obviously. Then I go for the coaching classes for engineering entrance exams. Oh dear lord, I have never been so stressed and depressed in my entire life! I regretted my decision of doing this. But now I was scared of telling my dad that I wanted to quit these classes. Very soon I realize that I am definitely NOT made for such science-y stuff. So even if I get into the most prestigious institutes it would be useless as I don’t have those skills. But one thing I knew that I still wanted to study fashion. I was just scared to tell this to my dad.

I separated these [points on my wishlist] into categories: needs, wants, and considerations

I knew school was primarily going to be paid for using loans or any financial aid I might be provided. There was only one school remotely near my hometown that I would go to if I was accepted, otherwise I wanted to go somewhere in the country that would push me outside my comfort zone. I wanted a larger school than my undergraduate institution that still had a relatively small cohort size. In addition, I was seeking a program with enough clinical and practical experience opportunities that would prepare me to enter the field. I was interested in research, however it was not a make or break for me if the school had adequate clinical/observation experiences.

All I want, all I need, is for people to stop being so dreadfully “helpful”

Keywords: life change , middle-aged , musician , self-employed

If you are reading this, offer a hug, “I’m hoping/ praying for you”, any seemingly idle non-help you can think of. But we recommending to a musician that “Maybe they should try accounting” when they have historically been a professional musician is cruel and insensitive. NEVER do that to me. I will hate you as much as I can. I DO hate my mom as much as I can.

If I’m working in a role that affords me the lifestyle I want to live, provides the income I need to invest in creative endeavors, AND was something I genuinely enjoyed, why did I need to quit again?

And this is the story all about how the girl who didn’t want to be a Director at 30, became a Director at 30 because she finally accepted her value and began viewing Corporate America for that it truly was, a gift. Working a traditional career is a great resource to help fuel and financially support your dreams. You don’t have to love it for the work specifically (although its great if you do), you can love it for what it has the capacity to do for you. I love my job and I am eager to show up everyday and be present because it affords me a lifestyle of happiness and ease while working alongside smart individuals that challenge my critical thinking skills necessary for a life of entrepreneurship. It enables me to pursue my dreams in the slow and steady fashion needed to build something worthwhile and longstanding.

I really want to investigate this attitude more: the attitude that says moving into work beyond academia somehow represents “giving up” or “selling out”

I caught up with none other than Naomi Tyrrell… academic-turned-research-consultant, and creator of the Alt-Ac Careers UK Facebook group, who after more than 10 years working full-time in academia (including a 3.5 year Marie-Curie postdoc in Ireland, and a permanent lectureship in the UK between 2010-2016) decided to form an exit strategy.

I want to associate with people that live with purpose — that have passions and pursuits

Keywords: consecutive running , self development

What do you do for work? is one of the most common questions asked when meeting someone for the first time – whether that be at a networking event, a first date, or at a party. We then proceed to judge someone and categorize them based on our perceptions or preconceived notions of said career. I personally find this question a challenge to navigate. I do many things for work – some paid, some not paid – but one commonality across all of them is that I am none of them.

I want a career more than anything

Keywords: {0}

I want hope for my future so I can then give my children hope even though one is almost 28 and the other 21. I want to show them that I can break the cycle, I want to keep my promise to my grandma that I will not just let life happen and settle. She died with regrets and she did not want that for me, I promised her that I wouldn’t but I do not know how I can even think about doing it without money.
