I don't care for feelings. I especially don't care for blogging about feelings. But guys, I need the advice of the interwebs.
I don't know what to do with my life. Cliche, sure, but it's become my cliche.
I know I want to go to grad school. I just don't know what kind.
I might go to law school. I'll for sure take the LSAT, cause I might as well. But do I want to be a lawyer? Do I want to wear nylons everyday?
For a long time I though I wanted a creative writing MFA. But do I? Do I want to be one of those writers that no one reads because they write like they have an MFA?
Maybe I should just shoot straight for retirement and open a floral shop and spend all day with the Hollycocks and Bells of Ireland.
Interwebs, guide me.
dear meg. here's something. just. something that was an eye-opener for me.
ReplyDeletewhen I seriously thought about it, if money just miraculously came into my bank account no matter what I did. what would I do?
I would do event planning. no question.
that's a springboard for the next two, more difficult questions: are you good at it? will someone pay you to do it?
so why did I not do event planning? because I have no spine, and law sounded like a good second choice.
i like the third option :) but you are an incredible writer, so no matter what you do, keep writing!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Meg:
ReplyDeleteDon't do law school. You would hate it. No creativity in the law writing..it would drive you mad.

grad school is over rated!!!
ReplyDeletei'm right there with you. it seems everyday i'm considering a new career path.
ReplyDeletefor sure keep doing what you love. i'm hoping to find an occupation where i can get paid to read. maybe you should be guiding me?
