Without a doubt, one question that one should have a definite answer to. Yet, I sit here staring off into space, trying harder to avoid giving an answer then to just answer it and get it over with already. I guess it's because I'm more afraid to find out what I’m going to actually have to sacrifice in order to make it in my career.
I'm 26 years old, and a female that isn't getting any younger. I know that I want to start a family soon (and am surprisingly already being pressured by my parents!). So I’m stuck with what most women want today: a successful career and a happy family. Now is that too much to ask for? I guess it still is. With an economy in shambles, it’s hard enough to just find a job, let alone find your dream job that pays enough and doesn’t overwork you to death so that you can actually have a life. So okay, I guess now I’m really asking for too much. But hey it’s what I’m going to invest most of my life in, so it better be exactly what I want! So being a young woman in today’s society, I’m being tested everyday on exactly where I’m willing to draw the line in the sand. And it's really hard to say without knowing where I'll be at that point in time in my life the day I'm tested again. Based on my past experiences, the one thing I do know is what I don't want. So for now, I will live by this statement: I will continue to pursue my career as long as my health is well, my family and loved ones are still smiling, and last but not least, live my life to the fullest with no regrets because my life was granted to me and I will never take it for granted. :)
