The dreaded question...

There comes a time in a students life when they will face the inevitable question from peers, lecturers, friends, family and even acquaintances. This tends to be in their final year a university or when they are a recent graduate. Its something that not many students feel they know but for some reason everyone else deems it necessary to drag the information out of them... yes you guessed it... "what do you want to do when you graduate?" (and cue screeching violins). People please please understand that unless someone is studying a specific course like Journalism, medicine or Dentistry.... most of us have no real concrete idea about what we want to do with the rest of our lives. Take me for example, a final year student studying Marketing and Management a university, my overall plan is to change the way black people are perceived in this country, get more adverts out to the general public about products used by black people, i also want to have my own events company, be in radio, film, and something to do with music wouldn't really hurt either... oh and also what about the idea of making film trailers?.. You see such a confused answer, because most of the time we are confused about what our short term plan is our self. Asking us what we want to do when we graduate when we have no clue or so many different ideas, only makes us more nervous at the fact that we aren't prepared ourselves... everyone has helpful suggestions or "words of wisdom", but lets face it more often than none its just what other people wanted to do but didn't get a chance to and they want to find a way of making it "work" for you. The answer is... I DON'T KNOW. Please let us deal with our finals and dissertation submission and other various deadlines to which we need to keep... When i have decided i shall shout it from the roof tops, the light bulb in my head will switch on, the clouds will part and the sun shall shine through, and in my head i shall hear a chorus of people singing "hallelujah"... but until then stop asking US the question lol. Find another ice breaker, point of interest...after all how annoyed are you when people keep on asking "oh so how is work going"

that's me
I'm out
Adios
Moi :p
