So here I am, on my 28th Birthday, and celebrating my graduation from fashion school on Friday, and I can't help but wonder....now what? I'll be THIRTY in 2 years. Two years!!! I swear to you, I still feel like I'm a teenager! Going to school with a ton of them will do that to you I guess. But so many people my age already have established careers, and families. I don't have any of that. With this economy, it seems damn near impossible to get the career you really want without years and years of experience, and tons of schooling. So it's finally hitting me that, 10 years after I graduated high school, I'm only just finishing my "college" years, and as much job experience as I've earned over these past 10 years, none of it is truly relevant to what my career choice would want me to have. And not only that, but I've made the major life decision to pick up and leave Minneapolis and move to Tampa, Florida this August. So, that's where my "now what" comes in.
Has anybody else been through this? Do you have any words of wisdom for little 'ol me? It's just so terrifying and frustrating, but still slightly invigorating and freeing, to jump in without any promise that you'll float. Jumping in with blind faith.
