Where do you see yourself in five years?

It's getting hotter :) With summer around the corner, I've been interviewing left and right, trying to achieve the coveted status of "employed". Sigh. Why can't they just realize that I'm awesome and just hire me? :p These interviews have pushed me to really evaluate myself as an individual. I've been pondering what my weaknesses and strengths are, figuring out a legitimate reason as to why I'm studying to enter the field of law and/or marketing, and understanding who I am as a person. For God's sakes people I'm 18. I don't know who I am yet- I highly doubt you yourself understand your deep inner psyche. And besides, why should my understanding of myself affect how well I perform at a job? If it weren't for the interviews- I probably wouldn't ponder these questions at all. My philosophy is to just live life as it comes- not sit there and analyze every action and nuance of it.


and now for the stupidest interview question ever....where do you see yourself in 5 years?


wtf dude do I look like some sort of genie fortune teller to you?


5 years is a long time, especially for people our age. We're growing so quickly, and the world is growing even faster. How in the world am I supposed to be able to paint a picture of myself in 5 years to you, the interviewer, when I don't even know what I'm gonna eat for dinner in the next 5 hours?


Today, I found out that one of my friends is getting married. I was shocked. She's 22 years old. That's me in about 3 years. I started thinking- well holy crap what if I'm married in 3 years? What if im not in a relationship in three years? what if i don't get into grad school. Where AM I going to be in 5 years? Should I be thinking about this? as all these thoughts ran through my head- a part of me started pulling me back towards sanity. I heard a little voice coaching me in my head throughout my spaz attack.
I decided that I don't care to think about where I'm going to be in five years. I care about figuring out where I'm going now. I care about loving the people around me- not the people I think i'll meet later. That's the only way I can shape my future the most effectively. :)
