Hello and welcome to my online journal/blog/pointless nonsense. My name is Arthur Schmagegee (Shma-gay-gee) the name is fake, but I am very real. This blog chronicles my experiences working in a prominent private school in the Washington DC area.
About a year ago I came to the realization that I have no idea what I really want to do with my life, which scared me shitless. I know there are many others who have been in this same position, but for an Ivy League grad that comes from a family of success this is not kosher. To be honest I had no desire to pursue anything related to what I studied, and I really wasn’t that book smart or business oriented to pursue anything related to my major. It’s a miracle I even graduated from my school, but I guess it is hard to fail out the kid whose Dad supplies a shit load of the University’s supplies and resources and makes yearly contributions that rival some people’s yearly salaries. But I’ll get back to my Pop’s company in a little.
Right after I graduated my father started pressuring me to figure out my plans for the next 40 years, I’m being a bit dramatic, but you get the point. I bought some time by telling my parents I was going to take a year off and enjoy myself before I plunged into the real world and they actually respected that. Instead of bullshitting during this time I hit the drawing board trying to figure out what I could see myself pursuing and where I could spend the rest of my years contributing to my 401K. The answer sadly enough was I did not know and then it hit me….
