I was somewhere between 5 and 10 when i was first asked this question. since then, it has incarnated into various forms. Every time it was posed to me, i had a different answer. from beauty contest winner to pilot to fashion designer...the list was endless. that seems like a long time ago, but my list is still endless. Lawyer, Engineer, Journalist, Architect, Designer? The options are so many that i cannot think. people say it is a boon for our generation to have professions that cater to every one's aptitude and skill. but is it really so? i feel like i have so many options i cannot nail it down to one. each one equally uncertain, yet equally rewarding. what to do, what to do?
i want to be a writer, and editor, a journalist. do i have what it takes? am i good enough? what if I'm not? what if it isn't what i thought it was and i become a failure? yes, it is something i love, but do i have the skill or am i just kidding myself?
i could be a lawyer. I've never thought seriously about the profession, so i don't have a burning desire to be one. but do i have the skills it demands? can i rise in this field if i work hard? will i like it? will i regret it ? am i just acting on impulse from what other people said?
i most probably will end up an engineer. i know i can do reasonably well. but i do not feel a rush when i solve a sum, or conduct an experiment. will i be just another slob, just another in the multitude of intelligentsia applying for engineering? will i waste those four years wishing i did something else?
oh the uncertainties of life....
my time is running out. i must decide, for now is the time. i must search inside me and find out my strengths and which profession it will be recognised. will i make the right choice?
