Cap and Gown
My mother and I were recently talking about how scary it is to graduate, because you take a big step into the unknown. When you go to school, that’s your life for the next 4-6 years. You have a purpose and a place to be. Then it ends, and you’re suddenly expected to get a job. A real job. Doing cold calls for Convergys isn’t going to cut it anymore. I’m sure that’s why so many people continue going to school; they’re afraid to start working 9-5 in the same place for the rest of their lives. Hey, I’m willing to admit it. I find it terrifying. To me, staying and trying to find a job is scarier than going to China.
The thing is, I’m still young, and I need change and crave adventure. Some day, it will be different. Everyone has to eventually settle down and become a functioning member of society. But why so soon? It surprises me how much of a hurry some people are in to jump into complacency. Then they try to convince you to do the same, like they are doing you a favor. I don’t understand. If you had the chance to do something different that would change your life forever, wouldn’t you want to take it? I would.
