Not What I Had Imagined

So my last entry was about how everyone is really setting off in their own directions. I'm finally starting to do the same. I always had goals, ambition, drive and all those other good things but during the college days I was still preoccupied with the hijinks that come with being 21 and having as wild friends as I do. Now though, it's time to step up and start planning things out. Unfortunately, the means in which I have to do aren't what I had envisioned only a few shorts month ago.
Last fall, I thought my world of opportunity would begin as soon as I finished school, but I awoke up to a stark reality. The economy was tanking and jobs were scarce. I was fortunate to have a decent enough job with the company that I had been with for the previous four years, but I still wanted more for myself. I wanted to get involved in the marketing or advertising field. That's why I made the switch during the college from computer science. I wanted to enjoy my career for the rest of my life and not just chase the money. It's not about the money, it's always been about being content with how things play themselves out. However, I don't think anyone can fully reach their goals without some money. It's sad, but it drives the world.
Moving on, I think my time at my current company is coming to a close and I'm going to move to a new opportunity that will offer a chance to have the things I want. I only wish I could be in my field instead. However, if I handle my finances wisely with this new job I could reach the goals I want. Ideally I would love to pay off my debts and own a home within a few short years. Once I get myself settled, I think I will definitely be able to pursue my dream job and in an ideal world everything will work out. Time will tell.
I have the idea stuck in my head now and knowing me, I will make this happen.
