Hey guys, I'm Jess. For those of you who don't know me I just started pursing my MBA! Literally just started, as in this week was my first week of courses. Among the positive messages and congrats a few people have managed to throw this wrench into the conversation, "What do you plan on doing after you graduate?. My typical response (roll eyes)," What part of me saying I just started don't you understand?".
It seems like a simple question but I have never really been one to think in the long-term. The few times I have tried to plan a route of some sorts I have veered completely off course. Its certainly not because I lack drive or focus. It's just that I like to change my mind, lolol, or something better appears out of thin air. I purposely chose the HS that all my closest friends were going to so that we could have the ultimate HS experience, only to end up moving away in the 11th grade. I started undergrad as a Finance major because I was determined to get PAID. Ended up hating it and switched to Marketing, interned and worked with a number of fashion companies and magazines. Meeting some interesting and kick ass people that I'm friends with til this day. Had planned on studying abroad in Paris or the UK until my advisor suggested AU (had i followed my original plan I wouldn't even be writing here). For God sakes I didn't even plan on going to grad school in '07 after graduation.
All in all, all of my "let's see where this goes" stuff has ended up being infinitely better that anything I could have thought of on my own. And this is why this question pisses me off so much,unlike Sam Champion (meteorologist on Good Morning America) I can't predict what the future holds for me. So to answer the question in the title of the post ,what I plan on doing after I graduate is not dying. This is usually where the other person in the conversation rolls their eyes,lololol.
See you guys later!!
