I have been thinking about what my future holds lately... at least the near future. the truth is that I have no idea. absolutely none. nada. zip. But I guess it helps to think and ponder on what I can do now to become a better person in the long run.
I am done with school, but I don't feel like I am done for life. I'm pretty sure one day I will want to go back, I just don't know when or what I will go back for.
For now, I really wish that I could find a better way to support Jake and I- I love being able to work from home, I love the benefits from my job, and I love my job too (most days), but I still wish I could find something better, that paid more, etc. (Don't we all?) I feel bad putting pressure on Jake to work and wish I could support him while he finishes school, but it looks like we are both working for now.
I have been thinking of something extra I can take on though, just to help more, and I am considering the possibility of becoming licensed to sell real estate. There are so many things out there that I would love to do, but this is one that I can get done in a 6 month period of time. Whether or not I will actually use it a ton in the future, I don't know, but the investment I put into it isn't something that will be too long or too much $. And maybe it will help me at least to have more knowledge about that kind of thing.
My current problem is the problem I have always had- I never knew what to study in school because I never got a very clear answer when I prayed about it. It's one of those things that the Lord has always left up to me to work out and make a decision and then work hard at.
So I am still trying to decide. Classes start Monday if I decide to do it. I am just not sure because of two things: 1. Do I really want to be in class from 6-10pm Mondays and Wednesdays for the next 4 months? and 2. this is just one of many things I would love to do. Should I do something else like graphic design that takes longer and costs more money or just do this now and then see what the future holds? Hopefully I will know by Monday.

You will be great at either!
love you.
DO IT!! I'm a personal proponent of taking a short-term training to find better-paying job to support yourself for the long-term trainings you want to do later on. It's better than sitting around and gives you time to think while you're at it without a long long commitment.
I completely understand! Even after 8 years of university and one year into my job that is super stable and definitely career-worthy and I love doing it, I still don't know what to answer when people ask me what I want to do. My usual answer is that I want to work for the UN, which is true, but such a vague answer in itself.
As for the real estate thing, I say go for it. It can only help, and you can find a job anywhere!
I try to live by my favorite quote: "try to learn something about everything and everything about something" - although still trying to figure out what my something is too!
