I'm trying to figure out where exactly I'm trying to get to. It's hard to walk forward when you don't know where you want to end up. As a result, I find myself looking in the most bizarre places for career ideas. I legitimately had a moment where I wanted to become a clown with the cirucs. Would it be cool? Absolutely. Is it realistic? Not a snowballs chance in a warm place.
There is an idea that I've been seriously kicking around for a while and that's to work for the forestry service. But for meteorologists they want you to have some kind of experience dealing with wildfires. And so...I'm thinking about spending this coming summer as a "hot shot" wildfire fighter to get that kind of training. There's a course being offered over my fall break i in Colorado which would get me certified to do it. It seems pretty legit, you can check it out. It would be an expensive experiment, the course is about $390 plus airfare (I'd drive, but it's 11 hours). But what an experience it would be! Anyone want to come with?
Maybe it's just this throw-caution-to-the-wind phase I'm going through. Maybe that's how this inbetween time is suppossed to be. Go big, make mistakes, find out what makes you happy. So here's to having no idea but being willing to figure it out!
There is a clown college that is entirely legit.
ReplyDeleteSpending some time as a hot shot wildfire fighter is also legit for a young person experimenting with life. You have proven most honorably your ability to do serious stuff and your committment to Christ. For me at least that creates substantial credibility to try other things, especially non-traditional outside the box ideas. Because you have a well developed relationship with God and the Holy Ghost as your traveling companions on the journey of life why not take a road less traveled through adventure alley? You go girl!!
