I freaking love September. My oldest and youngest brother were born in this month [11th and 16th, respectively]. FOOTBALL, both world and American, starts this month. And school....again. You know, I don't usually like to complain, but low key, this sort of sucks. While I couldn't stand my employment with the "owners of Midland," I LOVED the paycheck coming in. I loved being a professional, using the knowledge I acquired the FIRST time from college.
Now I'm back. After working at a couple different papers, plus a stint at the worldwide leader [of chemistry], I'm going to complete my journalism degree, the one I actually enjoy. While chemistry could pay [not for the amount of school I have now, need a grad degree], I don't enjoy it. I actually loathed going into work. Well, it does beat going into school. I'm worried that journalism won't pay [already know it barely does] and I won't get to be as successful as I could have been if I just would stick chemistry out. I don't think I could though. I love writing. I'm addicted to it. Whether I'm writing rhymes or articles about whatever subject I'm assigned, I just enjoy doing it. Maybe that's why I can stand being back at school, when I should be pulling in that $60k [includes benefits]. The Lord says that what you have in your heart ends up being your master. I do not want money to become mine.
I get what you mean about being torn between getting paid and being unhappy versus being happy and not making much. I think the best thing to do is whatever will make you happiest. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think you should do what makes you happy and it sounds like writing does! good luck and i hope you are happy either way!
