Changing perspectives

I always pictured myself as an academic, uneventfully going through higher education and getting some relatively well paid job with career prospects. Now I'm beginning to question this dream. I'm not really sure what it was that I was setting out to achieve, except for the well paid employment. No doubt can you reach the long-term goal by other means than university and the fact of the matter is that university studies doesn't suit everyone. Maybe I am one of those people who should take another route to success and fulfillment. Even though the thought of giving up on uni takes a nasty stab at my ego and self image I'm not shying away from it. The path I'm on now with the vocational personal administration training is giving me a long overdue self esteem boost. And most importantly, I get to meet people who didn't consider the highest goal in life to be university studies...
The thought lingers, that if I could get work in a human resourse type position with this personal administration training I might actually get relevant work experience in the field of my choice as well as hands-on social work skills, a quality I have underestimated the necessity of for too long.

*keeps on ruminating*
