after all this discovery about my new career path, i am having doubts. i don't know exactly what area i want to work in and in what function. right now i am volunteering at a small branch of a national non-profit organization doing mostly data entry and some other administrative work. i'm already getting bored of the work. the few times i enjoyed what i do is when i get to interact or stop to watch what the kids are doing.
international development...is it really for me? i have no idea where it will take me and that is what i'm afraid of. i'm not sure about ngo development work. some people know which country they want to work in and/or what cause. for me, i have no clue about the first and as far as causes go, there are a few that are dear to me. i want to help people whose town has been ravaged by natural disasters. i want every child to have access to a good education, i want to help the poor, to name a few. i thought i wanted to work internationally since it would bring more opportunities. working for an american ngo, you are limited to the few functions (marketing, admin, development).
i guess its a good thing i am not applying for grad school this year. for now, i'll just concentrate on going back to work.
