I've wanted to work in social care for a couple of years now but recently I've realised something... It's more so my Mum's dream then mine. I, honestly, want to be a games journalist.
I've decided I'm not in a rush to land a career, after all I'm only 18. So I applied for a job over the Christmas period at Gamestation. Today I get a call and I have an interview on Saturday for it.
I'm really pleased but I think people expect more of me. In comparison to being a support worker, I guess it's nothing. But it's something I'd like to do.
Not sure where I'm going with this topic. I just wanted to see if other people realise that they have been carrying out their parents dreams instead of their own?
But it's mostly because I don't have a career directed dream of my own. I don't mind.
If it's a Christmas temp job, they will no doubt put you into a Roleplay sales situation. Good luck =)
You should really follow what makes you happy; take what others expect of you with a grain of salt.
