Re: Career goals and identity

[ariakas]

Yeeeepppp. I spent my entire life pretty much preparing for one discipline, and worked in that field quite successfully for a while. But I also liked the minor I took in college, so I thought I might try my hand at that for a while, too. And SUDDENLY INSTITUTIONS THROWING MONEY AT ME HAND OVER FIST, organizations, schools, two governments. Whaaaat. So I'm doing that now, and...

...It still feels wrong. Maybe I just need to get used to it. I honestly don't really even like it as much as the first field, but I realize that it would idiotic to pass up on all of the opportunities I've been given in the new one. Honestly, I think I may even be better at the new one. But my identity was built around the old one, and it's all I ever wanted to become, but I know that the more time I spend in the new one, the less likely it'll be that I can ever go back. In fact, it may already be too late.

First world problems, I know, but sometimes it makes me so depressed I can't even describe it. I wanted to be Thing A. Everyone else wants me to be Thing B, and honestly, I'd probably be a better Thing B. I hate this.

Boo!

I thought it was going to be something all secret squirrel with the way you were talking about it.

[ariakas]

Hahaha I have done research for the government that required secret clearance and an NDA, but I wouldn't be giving you the details on the internet ;p

OP

Laughing because it sounds like you started out wanting to be Solid Snake and ended up getting shoehorned into being Naomi Hunter. Which is something I can relate to, it's sort of what's happening to me right now, except that the government isn't throwing money at me. Sighhhhh.

But it is incredibly tough, feeling as though you can't pursue your own identity. Even if you're naturally better at something else, but it doesn't call you, it's hard to just settle for it.
