I had a phone interview this morning. The job sounds okay. I would be starting out working an unfortunate schedule. But I believe I'm also currently working an unfortunate schedule, so I guess that's not much different! I'm also in talks with my current employer about further "opportunities for growth."
That all had me asking myself, "What is my big long-term goal?" I don't think I really have one. In fact, I think I have a few, which is making things sort of difficult.
I started out my career planning just one path with just me on it. I wanted to get as far up the ladder as I could, as quickly as possible. And for a while, I was on my way.
Then a few years ago I stayed in one place. I liked it there. I realized there were many, many paths I could take and I liked the one I was on... mostly.
So here I am, choosing another path.
My two paths to choose from right now both offer me a life still here in New York, but offer me a tad bit differing career goals. Just a tad. And I'm wondering the best approach.
This has me thinking about something else...
Ladies, tell me your thoughts. I've had many discussions about our inevitable choice of the "two paths" of our lives. I'm going to be blunt. Many of us feel we need to plan the path of "What if I end up alone?" and "What if I end up married?" Is it a fact that we give up one path for the other? When we were told "you can have it all" when we were young, were we lied to? Can you have it all? Do you WANT it all? Are any of you seriously going to comment on this on my blog?
