I've been thinking as of late, I don't know what good it's going to do me, but I thought that I would put those thoughts down in this journal.

I'm job hunting for an entry level attorney position, and the going is rough. It's a bad economy to be looking for a job in and everyone wants experience. You can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience without a job. It's horribly frustrating.

I then got to thinking, while I'd like an attorney position (I worked so hard for so long with law school and two state bars, I would really like to see that hard work pay off), what about something else? Is there something out there that I would be good at doing that I would LOVE doing? Hrm.

Now, what jobs would I absolutely kill for (even unrealistically)? Doctor (unrealistic because of the schooling), Veterinarian (same reason), FBI Agent (unrealiztic because of my physical limitations), Politician (no connections), Judge (need to be an attorney first), Reporter/Newscaster/Journalist (no degree or experience).

What are my true passions? Gabriel, writing, cars (especially the Lexus brand), learning (oh to be a perpetual student), animals, the law (moreso the criminal side like working with crime scenes), gaming.

And what am I really good at? Writing, the law (I have a bit of knowledge about a lot of subjects thanks to the bar), giving advice, helping people.

What do I want in a job? I want to like it, I want to enjoy doing it and look forward to going to work in the morning. I want to have time to spend with Rob and Gabriel. I want to make a lot of money.

I don't know if any of these line up into a perfect job for me. I see a scattering of what I would love to do, what my passions are, and what I'm good at. I see what I want out of a job. But I don't see a perfect fit.

You Should Spend Your Summer in Europe

You're in to almost all forms of culture - art, music, architecture, food... And spending a summer at the beach sounds pretty darn boring to you. So head off to Europe, where you can have your tiramisu (and even eat it on the beach!)
