and I’m not entirely sure I’m happy where I am headed. I take classes, work to receive certificates, apply for specific jobs, all to better my chances at someday landing a job which, as I’m constantly reminded by everyone around me, is akin to death. I see everyday the opportunities I sacrifice, the disciplines I neglect, all to stay “on track”, and it haunts me. I like to think that I genuinely like accounting; I really do. But I’ve got my whole life ahead of me to die. And so I think I’m going to look into joining the peace corps. It’ll take a lot for me to walk away from the security of an accounting job, and at this point the peace corps is nothing more than a pipe dream. It’s kind of always been a pipe dream of mine. But it doesn’t hurt to hope that two years from now I can be happy with where I will be headed. And really if anything, it may hurt if I fail to have hope.
