Man, the whole day I've been thinking about what I should do in my life. Being unable to provide any straight answers to myself, I thought it would be a good idea to seek advice from anonymous people such as the members of this lovely forum.
I'll state the subjects that interest me / I am able at (to some extent):
1) The English language. I don't mean to brag or anything, but though my knowledge of the English language might be poor compared to some(such as those who have it as a first language), I got first place in a contest on the English language in which over 100 students of the same age group with above average English skills participated, so I know more than most of my countrymen.
My future job should probably involve conversing in English.
2) Japan. I have studied a lot about Japan but I haven't truly got ahold of the big picture since I've never been there. I'll probably start taking extra lessons in Japanese. I believe myself willing to learn the Japanese language and culture.
My future job should perhaps be associated with Japan.
3) International politics. I have some degree of interest in international politics, such as relations between superpowers, recent general history and conspiracy theories.
4) Drawing. The career of an artist seems to have little in relation with other careers but I often find myself drawing different things. It's a bit more complicated really - I've been reading different tutorials on drawing and have entered weird frenzies of drawing sketches that last for hours. This has been going on for a while now and I might be going serious with this. It seems like more of an alternative than anything else.
5) Japanese animations(Anime). I've watched tons and know some details about them. This is simply a boy's dream of writing his own screenplay and directing an anime.
Other languages I know: Estonian.
Other languages I will learn in the future: French or German, Russian.
The occupation of Estonian ambassador in Japan sounds ideal since the requirements of that would be a mix of subjects 1 and 2 and probably a slice of nr. 3 but it seems very possible that I might not be qualified for it since it could be demanding. Also, to my knowledge, it requires diplomatic schooling. Could anyone perhaps tell me what ambassadors do exactly?
Anime screenplay writer / director. Not much to say about this, since it's almost illogical.
Subjects 1, 2, 4, 5 would be helpful should I wish to somehow pursue in this dreamy career. What sort of specialization would they require?
Then there's the possibility of being a Japanese philologist.
You might find the contents of this post stupid but I'm serious. I've been having a strange feeling of depression today and that's what inspired me to write this rubbish.
Should you have an idea of a career(an existing one, mind you
) that would blend some of the 5 aforementioned subjects well, don't hesitate to tell me about it. I'm pretty desperate about this.
Thanks in advance. [img]smile.gif[/img]
