Planning is for Losers
I don't really know why I even attempt to make plans... I'm turning into Leah circa sophomore year of college - every week I have a new career-path-goal-thing.
Last week the plan was: move to Austin, find a PR job.
This week the plan is: move to Houston, become a teacher.
I started looking around me last night as Katie Dunn and I were frantically dancing to "Motown Philly" in a crazy Parisian apartment with 10 people that we didn't know... all my friends are teachers. Not only that, but they are some of the most well travelled people I know. I've been trying to come up with a job that would still allow me to do all the things I love... learn new things, talk to people, get people excited about something, and travel the world! So... I can do all those things in a teaching career!!!
We'll see how it goes, but any and all advice and/or thoughts on my newest career-path-goal thing is welcomed.

My best advice is stay flexible. But the realities of being home make it much, much harder to get away.
Sometimes I consider dropping what I am doing professionally and becoming a teacher, too. You know your income and you know when you can travel, every year.
Then again, the job I have affords me the chance to entirely plan my own life and its incredibly fun... so it's not all bad. :) And being places NOT during the summer has its advantages!
Recap: be flexible and do what makes you happy.
