Future

I work at applebees where a lot of people are either in college or out and all they seem to be going through is a struggle with no direction in their life. I guess somewhere along the line in my childhood I got the fantastic dream that once you graduate you join some major company and gain lots of money but after seeing all these graduates working at applebees and sometimes another job, it makes me think what will happen to me. Currently I have no idea of what I want in life an it’s slowly starting to worry me. I know that the opportunities are endless but maybe that is what makes it so hard. Theres so many choices so somewhere along the way we never chose and end up working for restaurants or clothing shops.

"Opportunities? They are all around us... There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it."

I also work at a restaurant with many older people and it scares me to think about my future. One time my manager let me off early and he said "I'm letting you go but don't go watch TV, go study! You have to be smart because you don't want to be a hostess your whole life right?" That always stuck in my head because one of the hostesses is actually a older lady. She is not old, she is around 29 or 30 but that just isn't the age to be working as a hostess. This scares me, I want to be in the dental field but it is getting harder and harder every year to get into college. I am not worried about it because I have always done good in school but it is more competitive and it is very scary to think about, I agree with you.
