Go for a career change


I graduated from college with Bachelor’s degree of Liberal Arts. I went to Ireland for two months for internship program to gain experience for my degree. I decided to take a year break from school and started to look for jobs. Mostly my dream jobs were working in the museum, anywhere. I don’t mind to work in small museum to large museum, unknown museum to well-known museum. I just want to work in museum because I love to work with artifacts and documents. I believe that they are the most amazing things that can be found and find the truth about our past.

I have searched many different jobs over a year. I applied hundreds and hundreds of them. I have traveled to other states to take test that is required for this position. However, I get a lot of rejects as almost every job. I grew frustrated with it. I started to wonder if I made the wrong choice by going to college and study History as results to lead to get my Bachelor degree. I often felt that I am wasting my four year of college that seems to be worthless. Currently, I am in huge amount of student loan debts. I am starting to struggle to pay back. I have decided to look through different jobs because I had no choice. And yet, I get more rejects because I have too much experience. I felt like I am in the middle of something. But I rethink, I did not waste my four years of college to study History. I will find a way to use my Bachelor degree.

Over a year, I started to explore little more. I found out that I do have my passion for cooking. Mostly of time, it was art and craft. But I love cooking the most. I looked around and try to find school for cooking. I found one that I really like. It was the Art Institute. It was well-known school all over. I applied and want to explore their programs and made the decision by what I really want. I have planned this since May. I made appointment to meet this person, the assistant director of school. I explored their programs and I really like it. I found out myself that I really like cooking so I applied for Culinary Arts. Because I always want to start my own business as start my own restaurant. At last, I have been accepted.

I am not going to waste my Bachelor’s degree. I will find a way to use it. Maybe in the future, that I will open restaurant and bookstore. Or I can create the history in the restaurant. Who know what the future will hold for me. We will have to wait and see how things go for me.
