Since my "break-up" of sorts, I've been doing a lot of thinking.
I am wondering what I want to do with my life.
Yes, I know I'm in college, have a major, and that I am supposed to graduate in not too long. If I go the way I'm going now, I could be done next June. I am wondering whether I should try to find a job in Utah and stay here or whether I should go back to Houston. The problem with staying in Utah is that there are not a lot of editing jobs here, so the editors' job market is extremely competitive. Honestly, I don't think I have much of a chance of getting a job here. However, if I can stay in Utah, I have a fighting chance at something resembling a social life. If I go back to Houston, I'll have a better chance at getting a job...but my social life looks pretty bleak. To be honest, I don't have very many friends back in Houston. I know there's a single's ward that meets in my building, but ugh...
There has been some thought at my picking up another minor or certification in another area. As I have said, I am an editing minor but there has been talk of getting another minor in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) or becoming certified in Family History. I don't know if I want to teach...I'm not a teachy type. Yes, I know I'm a Gospel Doctrine teacher and that I've been a Relief Society Teacher as well, but I don't know if I could be a teacher. And Family History...I don't know how I could get any kind of an income from that.
So, yes I am kind of at a crossroads. It doesn't look like I'll be getting married anytime in the near future, as much as I would like to. I'm not serving a mission. So, I have to find out what I need to do to support myself. Oh, why did my interests have to be in the low income sector?!

Just for the record, the richnerd thing blew up in my last year of school. Over time, I decided to stay in school and finish the music degree too--it didn't make sense from a financial standpoint--what was I going to do with music to make money? But realistically, all I was doing was spending some time and money to get more education in something I really loved. No one who knows me now can reasonably say that was a bad decision...
