Yeah, they hate their lives. But they a forging ahead because this is something they truly believe they want to do. At the end of the day, that is what is getting them through this 6 year commitment. So I think you should take some time to be meditate upon the direction of your life. Find what makes you happy and then work from there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-67728233288002766052010-01-03T19:48:10.380-08:002010-01-03T19:48:10.380-08:00Interesting post about the finding your passion an...Interesting post about the finding your passion and the possibly ever changing nature of our passions. I don't think law is my passion and I don't think there is one thing out there that will make me happy. I think it will be different things at different periods in my life.SeeJaneGetRichhttp://seejanegetrich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-20497503389583494982010-01-03T18:13:35.899-08:002010-01-03T18:13:35.899-08:00I just graduated as a journalism major, and althou...I just graduated as a journalism major, and although I'm not wanting to go into PR or anything, I'm really not sure that I want to be a hardnosed news reporter. <br /><br />I'm going to apply for a position as a publications coordinator at my university, but I'm a little afraid if I do get it and take it, I'll be doing myself a disservice in the long run by going off the path and working in what seems like a somewhat random position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-38706261990366821872010-01-03T12:47:29.264-08:002010-01-03T12:47:29.264-08:00I'm going to shoot you an email. :)I'm going to shoot you an email. :)Life as a Pursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931242747263055881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-6427783703031945462010-01-03T12:32:53.356-08:002010-01-03T12:32:53.356-08:00You're not being creepy!

I understand it's a scary field to pursue because you don't think of rich sociologists necessarily. I struggle with that too - I applied for a PhD in economics 2 years ago, and the universe aligned in my favor and I was rejected. (The coursework would have made me really unhappy, as it turns out). However, I wonder some days whether I should have sucked it up and gone after the money. I really relate to your posts lately, sorry if I'm being a creeper by commenting on everything. :-PLife as a Pursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931242747263055881noreply@blogger.com
