At Anchor...

So I was just thinking a little bit earlier and I came to a (small) conclusion that I'm (sort of) in a stand still in life. Here are the points that make me say so:
1. I've graduated from high school. 
2. I haven't done anything since high school except work my ass off.
3. I don't know what I want to do in life.

At this point, the only thing I have going for me right now is my job. There at Smith's, I'm capable of moving to different positions. I've been told by some of my supervisors (and higher management) that I have the potential to keep moving up. And because of me hearing that, that's kind of all I want to do because I know that I at least have a chance to keep going.

It all sounds great to me but I want more. Like I said in my first post, I'm a person who is looking for challenges. Smith's seems like a good place to start, but that's not where I want to be stuck. I look at some of my co-workers and I see them as an example of what I don't want to happen. 

Now this brings me to something that sucks. Moving up to something different other than retail. In order to do anything else you need to have some type of college degree. COLLEGE.... Something that I really don't want to do. I know that I shouldn't be saying that, but college is something in life that I don't want to go through. I think that I spent about 80% of my life (so far) in school. And I don't want to cough up 2-4 more year of my life going to school. It doesn't sound fair to me. Going to school and having to pay thousands of dollars just so you can go. Now that really doesn't sound fair at all. *getting off topic again*

I'm just at that point in life where I don't know what to do with myself.

  1. Yeah, I agree. I'm totally not feeling college this semester since i'm been going to school for 12 years now.

    The good thing though, about college is that your actually studying what you want.
