• Career

  I just want to work in something that suits me. I want a career.
  
  I'm not ready to run a business yet. My short-term goals are to bank up money for future goals and to gain life experience. It would be nice to work somewhere that supports my hobbies but gives me money. I have a lot of "fears" or rather.. concerns. I mean, you get tired of the daily drag. I would hate for me to run out of passion for my hobby. So, it's nice that it's like my "escape" to sing or learn Korean or dance. I can take my time.
  
  I enjoy working with the kids. THEY'RE SO EFFING CUTE! Yeah, i said it, cute! lol. They'll make u sign another year contract without you realizing it! But I AM NOT mentally stimulated. It's the same thing everyday with different grades. I mean, ultimately, I AM teaching the same thing to the students, even if they level up a grade. It's the same thing. I'm spicing things up, I am. But I can't see anything like teaching kids for the long-term. It was a good experience and I'm gonna truly miss the kids but I need to move on. (haha, I'm not even done with TaLK!). I guess these thoughts are here cuz I'm on my last 6 months and it'll go by fast cuz I'm already in the "flow" of teaching. I enjoy being in flow. Things just automatically happen.

  ANYWAY. I made a call to Hang and it was nice for her to find something she's interested in. I really hope that she at least gives it a try and I know she can work hard.
  
  Well, even though I've been exploring majors for years, I found this one that's reliant on math. -_-;; ... It's called many things such as M.S. in Predictive Analytics or, M.S. in Analytics or M.S. in Business Analytics. ANYWAYS, all of them are the same shit but different names lol.
  
  There are programs that are 2 years, 10-months, or even online (which is probably 2 years). I honestly can't work and go to school at the same time. It's so draining! Body is drained, mind is drained! FUCK. I'm on a break (again lol) cuz I just transferred and financial aid and stuff.
  
  But yeah..

  There's different positions relating to this but, I want to explore the role of a Data Visualizer. They explore big data and communicate it to other levels of the company. I think this is kewl cuz you get to feel like you're a part of everyone in the company. You also have to be curious lol. One comment in another article says that you're like "the glue". I'm totally all about being curious about things and solving problems, and meeting all sorts of people, and not doing the same kind of work/problem everyday.

  I don't want to be responsible for a lot of things but I want to feel involved, like I matter and that I interact with people & ideas. I think I'm on to something here. But, I've said that about a lot of things but this position sounds very specific. I'm moving away from degrees that are general and trying to find a niche, something that's me. Plus, there's a labor shortage and they make like $89,000 starting but it's a bunch of math classes and work for me. D: .. and I'm scared that I'll be at the computer everyday but it's inevitable. We'll see how life unfolds.
  
  here's a small vid I found

  I never though the idea of wanting to try out Calculus would ever happen

  Hang, maybe our majors will be semi-related.. cuz of the math. (If I decide to go after this one after bachelors. If I even finish bachelors on time and don't burn out). It would be nice to...
  
  
  2013 Summer: Finish TaLK. Get internship at Boston Consulting Group (high doubts). See if I wanna work in this area of work.
  2013 Fall: Join an intensive Korean language class somewhere in Korea while working on my degree.
  2014 Spring :Finish bachelors & go home! Apply for grad school
  2014 Summer: Internship at Ayn Rand Institute. Julius' h.s. graduation.
  2014 Fall/Winter: Go to Eastern Europe & travel Europe while in the Teach and learn in Georgia program to take a break before grad school.
  
  2015................... I'll be 25 by then, turn 26 at the end of that year. P= ...~ I hope I'm debt free by age 25 & that iono lol. Maybe I can learn chinese abroad in Taiwan or work & do my masters part time. :Q.. it would help me save money on living costs & I don't wanna live in the states yet...

  I feel like I'm really a "special" kid and get distracted easily. Secretly, I wasn't diagnosed. I have this big curiosity thing though lol.
  Right now, I'm gonna go party LOL. err, watch a friend's tap dance performance
