They say it is always better to have choices in life rather than none at all, but what they don't tell you is how to make those decisions when you are faced with choices. Or choices that determine where your life is going. I have this feeling that what I decide to do after graduation will affect the rest of my life, and somehow I find it hard to accept that. Many questions are derived from this, such as; what if I made a big mistake? or Is this really my life passion? Perhaps I should embellish briefly into some ideas I have (in no particular order). It should be noted that I will be graduating with a Bachelors in Forest Resource Management from West Virginia University in December.
-Graduate school: University of Colorado at Boulder (requires faculty recommendation), BOKU- Mountain Risk Engineering (Austria), University of Helsinki, West Virginia University (for 1 semester)
-Topics I desire to write a thesis on: mountain risk management, alpine plant adaptations, afforestation at the timberline, services provided by a protective forest
-Colorado State Forest Service- Montrose Forester
-Au Pair/work experience/volunteering in mountainous regions of Switzerland, Austria, Italy or France
-Arborist work in Colorado
So, as you can see, I am quite overwhelmed with directions I can take my life. The overall goal is to relocate myself to an alpine region, ideally to pursue further studies on high elevation ecosystems. Perhaps I should wait to see what tomorrow brings and where my destiny takes me...
