I know that it doesnt seem like a problem, but the one i face does seem to be on my mind all the time. Its the problem of my future. As time moves forward so quickly i have to start thinking about my career. And as my career choice should influence what im going to study at school next year, i should have already decided by now where i want to go, occupation-wise, in life. But i havent. I've been to the careers adviser at school several times these past few weeks and i've narrowed my options down to a likely two. I dont know whether i will end up doing either of them in life, or if so for how long, because im not sure on anything, but atleast ive got something to stick to atm. the first option is a pharmacist. I enjoy chemistry and i find it reasonably easy. And an occupation where i get to mix dangerous chemicals together is very appealing to me. The downside of pharmacy is it would require me to go to either auckland university or Otago. Sure it's my career u say, you can come back in the holidays, etc, i know all that but it's still a big thing for me. And no matter what people say will change my thoughts about that. Opawa has become my family, and i don't wanna leave that for 4 years. Then there's the second option of becoming a psychologist. Rach and Dad have both done psychology at uni so it would save me a lot of money doing that, no book costs, live at home, etc. The downside of psychology is its not quite a normal job, and if i want to become a pastor later on in life, i want to have experience in a kind of job everyone does, or many people do. That way i can relate better to the congregation i preach to. Psychology is a study i would love to learn. I feel that it would be very good to have counselling skills especially if i intend to be a pastor. And i get a huge thrill out of helping other people solve their problems, or helping them to solve their problems themselves. Both occupations are ones i would like to be in, but then i face the problem of which to choose, if i choose either of them.
