also

I came up with my ideal job the other night. it's not necessarily a practical one and I doubt very much that it will ever go ahead, but it's comforting to have a dream job in mind. I don't think it's important for me to say what it is; just that I have a better idea of what I want to do.

I think i'm getting closer to figuring it out now. I am almost certain about what I'm going to do at uni next year - social sciences majoring in gender studies. I'm just trying to think about the kind of jobs that I could get from that degree, and what kind of work I want to get into. social work is absolutely out of the question, there is no way I could do it. one of my teachers basically summed it up the other day when she said I could never do social work because "it would break your heart". pretty much.

I've been looking at lots of neat little jobs like campaign manager, educational officer, cultural development officer, but it's hard to know what those jobs would be like in reality. and if I would need knowledge/degrees in areas other than gender. at least I know the degree I want to do for now!
