Why do people like to lecture me all the time?

Sep 17, 2008 13:37

This happens pretty often and I don't know why, but it's starting to rub me the wrong way. I was chatting with a coworker over lunch today and as many conversations do, they turn to the topic of my background, how I ended up at my job, what my career interests are, etc. And as with many conversations on that topic, the people always feel like ( Read more... )

I don't have anything constructive to say but...

I know exactly how you feel actually. I've been getting lectures from everyone (practically everyone) what I should do with my life and what careers I should pursue. And I'm like O_____o;;; half the time...I'm still not 100% sure what I want to do LOL but yeah, it's a tough decision to make.

It is SO a tough decision to make and such a time/ money investment as well!!! I don't want to "just do it" and see where it takes me... I've done that before and I get "stuck" on a path I didn't want to take. I've been an accounting clerk just to pay the bills, and now, my temp agency keeps trying to hook me up with accounting jobs because I have the "experience", which is kinda a double edged sword. On the one hand, I can understand that they want someone with experience and since I do, I have an advantage... but once I start taking these kind of jobs, that eliminates chances of getting that "other job" that might've meant to be.

Hmm, doesn't advice 2 and 4 kind of help you narrow down your choices? I mean, if you haven't tried it, it's hard to make a decision, right? Like buying a car without test driving it.

And there's also the other side that I noticed you didn't mention. Maybe it's because you're greedy! Like you want to walk both ways, or maybe you want a little of both things. I know you're not lazy, and I know you're not afraid though. To me, you just sound indecisive because lack of experience in said field.

Ahh...well, don't hit me if I said some unconstructive! Just pointing what I noticed. ^^;;
