I am back once again on the career search. I have yet to finish college yet I can't help myself, I need to know what I want to do. Today I told Joan that I was inspired to be a chef. Yes, as in Le Courdon Bleu Culinary Institute Chef. However, could I do it? Is it worth the 50k to find out? Maybe.
A few days ago I wanted to be the C.E.O of a company (which thanks to Joan and his new business, I could get there soon) or Advertising, Marketing Manager. A month ago I wanted to be a professional photographer and open art galleries all over Spain. When I started my studies I wanted to be in the Public Relations field. Twenty minutes after wanting to be a chef, I'm now thinking I would be better suited to.....to....something else!
People tell me ""you have time" or "you're young". However, I'm not that young and while maybe I do have time, It's running short. Look at these unbelieveable statisitcs:
Mark Zuckerburg

Ashley Qualls

Mario Lavanderia

I know I am being unrealistic but this is the reality. I am 20 and when these people were my age (or almost my age) they had established a name for themselves with a brilliant idea and now have it made. I am not an internet genious so I'm relaying on school and hopefully a great job market to help me out. But I'm always trying to come up with ideas, what I can do that would be the "next big thing". I admire these millionaires for what they have done and what they will do. I don't need $700 million to be financially happy, but I wouldn't turn it down.
