After slogging through 8 months of part-time work on a business plan whilst living off a part-time wage from working on other business projects – I must admit there are times that I feel a bit crazy for not taking the cushy grad position.
I look at what my friends are doing now and earning now and a little part of me thinks that maybe that a more conventional direction would be a much easier choice – a much safer choice.
My problem now is that after having my eyes opened up to what is out there, to the entrepreneurial way of life, to the potential of being able to do anything and participate in interesting business ventures – I don’t think I would be able to go back to being happy in the cushy grad job.
I would crave the excitement, the adventure, the learning opportunities and maybe even the risk that drives you to achieve. Now I have my eyes opened up to world, there is no going back.
I am hoping that in the long run this career path will be more fulfilling and hopefully more profitable then the conventional career path. It will definitely be more exciting. But until then I think there will be many more days on this roller coaster ride when I question that decision I made months ago.. Ah ignorance is bliss.
