A difficult choise
I have to choose between four career choices. I could continue in my current job as a vocational teacher; the biggest change would be if I found a job from a school that was ranked higher. I could become a researcher, which would be the most appropriate choice with my education. I could become a free lancer in the field of education. And, last but not least, I could find myself in The Finnish National Board of Education.
All the choices are possible, all are good choices. But it is hard to make the choice between them. Not because I don't know what I want, no. I do know what I want. I want to become a researcher. The choice is hard because I cannot make the choice by myself, alone.
The root of the problem lies with the fact that in actuality I am not the one who decides what I become: my next employer decides for me. Who will it be? What can I do to ensure that it is the one I want it to be?
My summer job is nearly over. I think it would be wise to let myself be unemployed for a couple of weeks, at least. I need time to get my act together. I need to rest. I need to work on my port folio. I need time for myself. That should increase my possibilities to get what I want.
