I love making major life changing decisions. I love it even more when you have an affirmation that whatever decision you made was the absolute right one for you!
Monday was the start of a new school year for me. And it was completely re-affirmed that changing my major to Human Services is EXACTLY what I needed to do. I am actually excited about the future. I'm going into a career that I am absolutely going to LOVE. It has the possibility of breaking my heart at times, but I firmly believe that the payout is going to be worth any heartbreak I may endure.
What kind of job will you end up getting?
ReplyDeleteI will end up being qualified for a long list of jobs. Ill be able to get a job w/ the state as a caseworker for Dept of Human Services, or CPS. Ill be able to lead small groups like AA or support groups like that. I can work w/ a private organization providing training or even counselling services. I can work in a therapy office. Most therapist have a Masters, which I will be going for, so being a therapist wouldn't be something I would be able to do much of right out of Baker.
DeleteWhat I want to do is work with teens & young adults to develop skills to be able to navigate life situations in healthy manners. Maybe work in family counselling eventually. There are too many people, especially my age, that are not equipped to handle life situations. Deaths in the family, a demotion, a loss of job, a divorce, etc. People are being raised by people who weren't equipped to deal with things like that. I want to help figure out how to break the cycle of dysfunction in peoples lives.
I have big dreams...I know! Lol
