Thankful
by Tommy
I’m thankful for something today. Something big.
My Sunday Times piece reminded me that I still have no idea what I want to do once I wrap up secondary school and college. Yes, I do have some vague notions, but nothing concrete.
So, what exactly are you thankful for?
Like every kid (don’t deny it, you did it too. And you! and you and you and you and especially you!), I have gone through more career ideas than there are fish in the sea. I won’t bore you listing off all the different ones, they ranged from train-driver to closed captionist (you know your subtitles on DVDs? Closed captionists are the folks who write them.)
Wait, so what are you actually thankful for?
Oh, yeah, I should probably explain. In pretty much all of these career choices, I’ve thought:
This is indeed my final answer, let’s speed up time and start working!

And there hasn’t been a job yet I’m glad that my wish hasn’t come true because I’ve yet to settle on a real job.
But hey, I have 4 years of secondary school left before any concrete decision is required.
I have time.
