So here goes nothing: my first blog!
I am hoping that this will be an exciting start in the wonderful world of writing: a place where I can get my creative juices flowing and begin life as an aquatic conservationist, an environmentalist, a journalist and novelist, a traveler, a world citizen, and even as a photographer.
The title of my blog - The Educated Novice: Life After Grad School - may imply that I am actually finished with graduate school, however I am still in the last steps. While I would like this blog to be the start of a potential writing career, my actual mission is to reach other young adults who are finishing school and are not sure what they want to do next. Therefore, I wanted this blog to begin with my last steps in school and my transition into the great big world of careers: really to many of us, the unknown.
Along with finding a job, graduates have many other dilemmas and decisions, such as setting up loan repayment plans and figuring out where to live. And of course, after all the time, money and hard work, we want careers that we love, not just those that pays the bills. Sometimes even though we know the direction that we want to take we still haven't fine tuned exactly what we should be doing.
While everyones journey is different, hopefully reading about my own personal path will be helpful for others. I welcome comments about my posts and advice that anyone may have. I only ask that readers are respectful towards me and other readers. And of course I will always respect and encourage your opinions.
Thank you for allowing me to share my journey with you, and stay tuned for my next post!
