Drummer Girl?

Righto. Three days in to my work placement at City Showcase and I'm already experience a quarter-life crisis. I am not one for spreadsheets, sitting on my arse and taking orders. That's not a patronising remark to secretaries, office workers etc. I just simple don't have the patience for that kind of job.

Im my woe, I decided to take a careers test on iVillage. What did it suggest?

Top answer: Secretary

Another entertaining answer: EVENTS ORGANISER.

Well thank God for that - all it took was 3 days of ripping my stressed hairs out and a 30 minute internet quiz to find I'm already in the perfect job!

Lovely.

Although City Showcase is only a work placement, it's made me realise something. I don't have the foggiest clue about what I want to do for a living. You always think you're going to love doing something; it sounds glamerous, you meet interesting people, you travel to wonderful places....


But can you really enjoy those aspects when working? When you have a boss breathing down your neck and deadlines to meet?

I know I haven't found 'it' yet; the career path that really makes me go "yes, I was born to do this!". In January I wrote a blog about my epiphany on becoming a commediene. I was sure I had a real moment.

But no, I'm still dizzy. Right now? I want to get real bloody good at drums. Being in a band again actually seems appealing, for the first time since college. Being a singer, I always suffered from nerved and panic attacks. But little drummer girl at the back rarely gets noticed. She just bashes it out.

Sounds good to me.
