My friend from back home (Greenville - I've been in Atlanta at school for 4 years) visited and we immediately started discussing how we plan to change our life. Well, not change just, pick it up. Get the pace going a little. Do something. Admittedly, we're both young, but in our eyes, life is going by too quick and we just might miss it.
The problem is, like a lot of people, we're interested in a LOT of things. It's hard for us to say "I want to dedicate myself to this and this only," even if it's only for the time being. We have to make money and be happy. How can we best do both? So we made a list of everything that 1) We could see ourselves having a happy career in and 2) Hobbies, art forms that we would like to master - to fully comprehend and enjoy - by the time we die.
Here's my list:
Fulfilling careers:
1) Video game design (my current focus)
2) Film (though, at the moment, I am pretty burnt out)
3) Consulting (I LOVE efficiency!)
3a) Environmental 'consulting' - I would love to go to a business and teach them how to reduce their energy use, waste output, etc.
4) User Interface Design or User Experience Design.
5) Teaching (I've always been told that I explain things well)
6) Psychiatry. (This is something I would not as much enjoy taking the time to learn the 'science' of - but I love talking to people and helping them think logically about situations - helping them through their problems.
Hobbies:
1) Singing. I love the emotional output that singers are allowed. the ability to put all of your emotions in to something. Writing, drawing - sometimes it isn't enough. I just want to let go. Yes, I'm that weird guy driving by you on the freeway with his mouth wide open and tears streaming down his face.
2) Writing. Say What?
3) Drums
4) Drawing
I'm definitely missing a few. Where'd my list go? Edits coming.
