My future

I woke up early as usual. I rolled over, tossed, and turned thinking about my future. I want to have a good career. I want to make a lot of money too. I spent 3 hours researching internships and law firms this morning. I have to remain optimistic that I can obtain a great career with my degree. I wonder of if I am making the right decision. Should I continue trying to be a teacher? I only decided during the summer that I wanted to become a paralegal. *Scott and I did a lot of talking about careers. I know my career options with my degree and paralegal is one of the most lucrative. There is a lot of flexibility in the field, options to grow, and somehow I still find myself wanting something different. While out grocery shopping with my sister a few days ago I found myself jealous. I wanted to grocery shop too. I walked up and down the isles imagining what food I would buy for my husband. I wanted to pick up all of *Scott’s favorite things. Do I have to choose between becoming a successful career woman and becoming the best wife one day? I don’t know how I could handle both. The career I am interested in will be very demanding of me. I wonder if I will have time to make a wonderful mean for my husband or would take out do. I am content with getting my degree and diving head first into my career until I am married. I realize how much I want to do these things the longer I am with him. All I can do is pray that I have the strength to obtain my goals as an individual and with that become an asset to my husband in the future. I still have my timeline:

-       Intern for 6 months at law firm in litigation or family law

-       graduate May 2013

-       get a job in NJ or NY

-       move to NYC (pending I have a job paying at least $45,000)

I am giving myself 3 years to jump-start my career. I hope everything goes as planned.
