Re: Job commitment-- help?

If you don't want to be tied to the mandatory obligations of the first thing, don't let the conflicts created by that thing get in the way of your other interests. As for the things you want to do but you don't meet the age requirement yet, break down the skills they require and focus on doing things that will help with that.

And as Baz Luhrman says, "Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't."

In fact, there's a ton of good advice there, so: Here you go. (Apparently DW is not playing nicely with embed codes. It's just Youtube.)

I don't mind the obligations, but it just feels like because I have so many interests, I don't want to tie myself down to just one of them, until I can narrow down what ones I want to spend a longer time in doing.

I didn't phrase the age thing well; it's more like, you can only apply up until the age of 29 (military officership), or 35 (police, some other agencies).

I'm pretty well geared up for base skills for a lot of these-- I speak two other languages and am well versed in the cultural areas, have spent a year working overseas, etc. It's just that I'm wary of shutting myself off to other things that could surprise me as being just as rewarding as I think the other things will be.

Or I'm afraid the other things won't be as rewarding as I thought, and I ended up in a career choice that I cant get out of for a few years.

But thank you for your reply, and the Baz Luhrman quote. :D
