I'm just starting my GCSE exams, and without being big headed, I should do well in them. For my mocks I think I got all B's or better, and got an A* for Maths and Chemistry. Most teachers reckon I should get an A in their subject if I revise well. But I'm not really sure why I'm doing the exams. Sure I'll get some kind of grade for subjects, proving I can regurgitate the facts I've been taught, and then I'll be able to go onto further education. But what for?
I have no idea what I want to be or do as far as a career goes. I think something in videogames might be cool, but they're a hobby, a passtime, would they be the same if I spent my working life creating them? Would they still be fun, exciting, interesting? The only other things I would actually like to do is be in some kind of band, which seems unlikely at the moment being stuck on this small Island (the Isle of Wight, not Britain I mean...) or I would love to own a record store. I could just listen to music I love all day, stock stuff I like and what deserves to get heard. Maybe open up a little live venue in a section of the store...
Probably sounds stupid, but I honestly can't think of any kind of job that I would enjoy more than that. But something that made me think was when a teacher yesterday morning was trying to motivate us to do well in exams. He said something like he thought it was a sin to waste your talent. I assume he meant this in the context of exams, but I didn't really think of it like that. I wondered what job I could do. But in the end I couldn't think of anything that I wanted to do. I just went back to thinking about writing some lyrics and me sitting in the run down record store. Would that be a waste? Should I have ambitions of fame and fortune? Should I be thinking about some high paid career?
Maybe I will enter some boring career in the future. Right now I'm happy day dreaming about being in a band and owning a crappy little record store.
