let's talk about growing up

what do you want to be when you grow up?

that was the question

that was THE question

wasn't it?

if an adult didn't ask you that, it was weird

luckily for me

I kind of knew where I was headed in my life

I thought that because I was actually good at something

I would go and study it

go and practice it

and be happy

:)

but now I'm not so sure that's the case

yes I'm employed in my field

and I'm really lucky

so many people my age are stuck in unskilled jobs

or unemployed altogether

so yes, I know I should be thankful

but I feel like I shouldn't just settle

if I know deep down I want more

the way the job market is going I feel like our generation are going to be a bunch of settlers

and we shouldn't!

this is the time for opportunity

we are young

the world is our oyster

if somethings not right

change it

even if your mum's telling you the exact opposite

obviously everyone is different

if you're reading this and thinking

"this is the best it gets for my career"

and that makes you sad

then maybe it's time you try something new

open up your internet browser

pull up a job site

and explore something you've never before

who knows

you might find out what you want to be when you grow up

am I the only one with this on the brain?

please tell me I'm not (in the comments)
