And some people take up jobs that they don't study

The future is one of the scariest thing I could think of. It's always so vague, so much expectation but at the same time, so much fear of disappointment. 

I've always thought about the future since I was young. Probably more than my friends. I've always thought of the dream I have, dream that I want to live in. I've always thought of the life I've wanted to lead since I was young. 

Since I was 13, I've always wanted to get to an art school. It's been my dream to take up designing. It's something that I've always prepared myself. I want my future to be good, to be perfect. Not perfect in such a way that I want to get a perfect job with perfect income. Perfect in such a way that I can do something I really love in my life. I think about the job that I want to do more than the husband I want to marry to. Not that I've never thought about my future husband though (future husband, if you are reading this post... err.. hi! ), just that I really want to lead a life that I can really enjoy.

 

But at the same time, it's scary to see how in the end, a lot of people out there end up finding jobs that have absolutely no connection to what they studied. What's even scarier is how the society will judge them. Even if  you were to graduate with an engineering degree, it's not a guarantee you will end up becoming an engineer. And when this happens, people will go like, "Tskk.. look at him, graduating with an engineering degree but end up doing up other jobs". 

Isn't it scary? It's scary how people judge us according to what we do, how people judge our life choices although our lives have absolutely nothing to do with them.

I don't know if I will end up becoming an architect.

 In fact, I've been visualising myself as a ... housewife (gulp).

 I think having a family is one of the greatest thing in life and I don't see any problem with becoming a housewife. In fact, my respect just shot up really high for housewives. Cooking for the people you love is something that's really lovely. Cleaning your house for the people you love is also something that I think is really lovely. Just staying at home waiting for your kids and husband to get home so that they eat the food you prepare, sit on the sofas you clean, sleep on the bed you make, walk on the floor you mop, is really really lovely. : D

I think it's really important that for once, we stop judging people for their life choices. No one should ever think that education is a guarantee in life. An education doesn't make you get a job you want. You life choices do. And so what if you don't end up doing things you studied? What's wrong with that? A lot of things happen in the society and sometimes we face difficulties and will have to make choices we never expect ourselves to make.
