I had an epiphany today. I finally realized what disease has been plaguing me since graduating from college in May. I suffer from Career ADD. Though I think the name speaks for itself, let me explain.
My generation (we're called the Millennials) exists in a world of opportunity. Unlike past generations that graduate from college, get a job and then stay at the same place for years on end. We tend to move from job to job and completely change our career path multiple times.
The problem for me is that I can't even pin down my first career. I am suffering from a strong case of Career ADD. One day I am ready to get my masters in education. Summers off sound nice. Then, I realize I want to be a columnist for The New York Times. Or, I decide I want to write an Oscar winning screenplay and become a writer/producer in Hollywood. Every third Wednesday of the month I come up with the notion that I should create the next great ad campaign for the GAP. Oh and don't let me forget about my dream to start my own eco-friendly sports clothing line.
It's almost as if I have too many dreams for one lifetime and I don't know where to begin, so I end up getting nowhere. I need help. Does anyone have a cure?
