This evening my Nan told my that my “clock was ticking”, at first I laughed at her but then it got me thinking about what the hell I am actually going to do with my life. So I have spent the whole night trying to decide on a career path. I’ve never really wanted to do anything specific I’ve just always known I want it to be historically related … somehow.

As most of you know I’m doing a degree in History right now, and although there is many things I can do with that degree, not a lot of them are history related. Too do anything remotely interesting, get well paid and be history related it seems like I will have to take a postgraduate course in Uni. The two jobs I have in mind are a Curator and an Archivist - both require post grad’s so I’ve been looking at the prospectus from my Uni, everything is ok apart from the fact that both courses require a 2.1 at BA level. -___- Will I get a 2.1 next year? I have no idea, its possible, but knowing me I’d probably fuck the exam up and ruin my life.

Apart from those Teaching is the only other option I can think of, but guess what? History teachers aren’t in demand right now. Hahar just my luck. I don’t really wanna teach snot nose kids anyway. They’d eat me for breakfast.

Thinking of the future depresses me. I should of just left school and done hairdressing or something. Sorry for this whining post, I had to write it down.

I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’ll be 20 in September and I don’t know if I want to continue my education or work, save up money, and travel to Europe.

I’d love to do something in History as well. I was even working on a non-fiction Elizabethan novel but stopped because it was going nowhere. I’d like to possibly become a pilot or something along the lines of Aviation. I just have no patience or the heart to be dedicated year after year (it’s one of the reason why I decided not to attend college anytime soon).

Growing up sucks LOL.

Ah jeez. I’m a year away from completing an English degree (history minor) and have NO IDEA what to do with my life. You’re not alone!

Aaah I know the feeling! It took me forever to pick a major, while I can find employment in the Media and PR field, I’m not even sure it’s something I enjoy anymore lol.

Haha teaching was rated the most stressful job in Australia!

I guess whatever happens, happens :)
