I also had a bajillion majors in college (started Vocal Performance - Jazz, went to Philosophy, went to Business, ended up with Creative Writing and Classical Studies!) and have ended up in a job which pays the bills and I don't totally loathe, but I don't love it either. And I wrote my Crushin It post on the SAME EXACT topic, seeing all these beautiful and glamorous blogs of people living their dreams and I'm like "Aw man, my life is sucky." I'm probably about 24 hours ahead of you on the grand scheme of life train, only because it sounds like I started making the changes towards a different future a little earlier than you. But I'm a pragmatist, I need to take things slowly and know the plans and be methodical. My changes won't be nearly as sexy as others. But I'm learning to love and embrace the little changes, I know they are milestones...for me. .-= Elisa´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.opheliaswebb.com/2009/10/stand-for-something-or-youll-fall-for-everything/" rel="nofollow">Stand For Something Or You’ll Fall For Everything</a> =-.

LOVE this sentence because it is so true and it's a point that so few people recognize. You aren't in school to learn the names of every concept on urban design you are there to learn how to think, create arguments and defend your ideas. Can't wait to hang out AND hear about what's going through that fabulous brain of yours :D .-= Marie´s last blog ..<a href="http://mckinneyoatescereal.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/thats-master-mckinney-oates-to-you/" rel="nofollow">That’s Master McKinney-Oates to you…</a> =-. “By the time I graduated, I wasn’t worried about the naysayers because I knew that I can do ANYTHING with my degree because I’ve learned how to THINK.”
