I remember (...I have had such similar experiences. I remember (with regard to having just broken up with a boyfriend), a friend of mine was asked what exactly she was looking for. She said, "I don't know, but I do think I'll recognize it when I find it." I knew the sentiment, and (at least when it came to romance), I totally recognized it when I found it. Same thing with my career - my undergraduate degree is in engineering. I worked for 3 years as an engineer, and HATED it so badly. So I started teaching English in foreign countries until I decided I liked microbiology. I don't think my engineering degree was "wasted" - I learned a lot and met some lifelong friends. And I learned that I hate engineering. :-)<br /><br />I'm glad you had the courage to quit a job you weren't happy in - I could see it when we were living together. You'll find answers... we're all still looking for them all the time, and I think one of the greatest life skills is learning to live with uncertainty.<br /><br />I am confident that you will find yourself in a place you love because you are the type of person who won't stop looking. I love that you just picked up and moved to DC. You're so awesome!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747017118080100528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572650240563781788.post-88611273915649058742011-09-16T01:19:56.068-04:002011-09-16T01:19:56.068-04:00I know you posted this a while ago, but I'm ju...I know you posted this a while ago, but I'm just now reading it and very much relating! Only i'm just beginning the path of my Master's-- haha-- the very same as your's... and hoping this leads to something good. I agree that we need to be doing what we LOVE. And I really like the thought you shared about evaluating where you're at each day, and deciding if that's what you'd want to be doing if it was your last day. Good point! Welcome back to D.C.... hope everything is going well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275985599846025654noreply@blogger.com
