Have you ever asked yourself, "what the hell am I going to do with my life?" I have. Deciding what you are going to do for the rest of your life is pretty crucial. I definitely don't want to get stuck in some job that I don't like doing. This question has in a way haunted my dreams recently...
As you may know, I am a freshman at Purdue right now in the first year engineering program. I never really knew what I wanted to do as college quickly approached me and engineering was always something that interested me a little. Therefor, I made the tough decision to leave my wife and son back home in Brownsburg and attend Purdue University so I could get the best possible engineering degree and be able to support my family the best I could. Those plans have changed. I don't want to be an engineer. And it kills me that I made such a big deal about going to Purdue and that I left Courtney and Christopher back home while I go off to school each week. I guess I just thought that it would be easy and that it wouldn't be that hard to leave them each week as I would be coming home each weekend. I was definitely wrong about that too! It was the hardest! The main reason I chose to go to Purdue for engineering was because my dad graduated from Purdue with an engineering degree and I guess in some way I wanted to be like him. He has always been supporting our family and has done very well for himself and for us. I just though I could do the same. But like I said, after a semester and a half, I've decided that it's not!
Next year, I will most likely be attending IUPUI and study business. I am still unsure of what I want to do with my life as far as work goes but for now I know that with a business degree there will be many job opportunities awaiting. I am really looking forward to permanently living with my family as well! I think we will actually feel like a real family then. Things are not normal now, but I hope they will be by the summer when I come home. I just want to be able to give my son and my wife the best possible life!
I do not know what I want to do with my life, and the question lingers in my head from time to time. I love sports! I've always been a basketball guy too! I know I will never play professionally but something that has to do with sports would be a great job for me! I love basketball, soccer, football, golf, tennis, bowling... you name it and I pretty much love it! (Except baseball) haha! Maybe I will have a career in sports marketing, I don't know! If you know of any other jobs or degrees that would be good for me, let me know.
As for now, the question " what the hell am I going to do?" will always be on my mind!
