the revelation(s)

For a very long time I've been trying to figure out what I want to do after school. I always like having an answer to the almost cliched question of "what do you want to do?"

Since I was two until the middle of last year it was Medicine. After realising I probably couldn't put up with the hours, I turned to Psychology. I've always been fascinated with the brain and remember when I was little I'd ask questions that I know the answer to just to see how peoples thought patterns worked. Although, the explanation at the time wasn't quite so complex.

After thinking about the actual employment possibilities of studying psychology, I've had second thoughts.
That and dad keeps rattling off different career choices because he thinks psychology is a stupid idea.

I'm kind of leaning towards law. Lawyer-ism had crossed my mind back in year 8 when I was - borderline - failing maths. I like the idea of it. And although I know people think the complete opposite of me, I really like a good argument.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I want to do law. Even if the UAI (or ATAR or whatever acronym they've changed it to) is 92.9 at Newcastle and 99.65 at Sydney.

Now the only issue is, what course?
I can't do straight out law because it's a graduate entry so I'm trying to choose between Bachelor of Social Science/Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Law.

The Social Science one sounds really interesting and good to put on a resume but Arts includes Psychology and a few languages.

So I've gone from being sure, to changing my mind to being sure again to considering my options to being totally confused to being sure to researching to just not knowing.

I've always thought not knowing was a good place to be but now I don't know.

Maybe I'm simply aiming too high. Suppose I'll just have to wait and see.

Have a nice Wednesday.
