My life

I used to update here more often but I think school work is keeping me busy. Here are the thoughts. I Think I have something for guys with some white hair. You know as much that they are not old but they look mature. Usually guys in their early 30's look like that. I saw couple of guys like that in the last couple of days which seemed very attractive to me. I am finding new weird aspects of my personality. Or may be it is not new...my ex was 34 after all.

OK, enough girlish stuff. I have found new horizons in my career plans. I am thinking of UNDP and World Bank. They both have really cool programs in leadership development and they have jobs that need a lot of traveling+ you would feel that you make a difference because they are in development field. The obstacle is that for the UN jobs I have to know at least one more language just to be qualified to apply. Both are very very competitive jobs and both need work experience. I might end up working in some developing country for two years before entering the program which is fine with me now if it is type of a job I like. I also need to start doing some volunteer jobs applying my knowledge....something I always wanted to do anyway. I have to set up my resume to apply for on line volunteer jobs....and on top of all these I do have research and course work. But I am actually enjoying school a lot since I now have some idea of what I want to do after graduation. I have to do a lot more research but I wanted a job that helps me make a difference and I get to meet other cultures and I know that if I train my potentials I can be a good leader. I love being a leader in a meaningful program like the ones I mentioned.

At school I feel I have the desire to know more economics. I think getting two courses in economics and just passing them while being depressed is not what I meant by getting a minor in economics. I have to understand economics. I have to be able to talk about it. To me, economics is the art of civilization. It is some thing that wouldn't exist if man kind didn't create civilization. We are its creators and it is amazing how a simple rule can make a huge difference. So I am thinking of a solution for this.

Any thoughts?

Pantea joon,
I am glad that you have found a contact to talk about the sort of job that you are interested in with the UN. :) About the white hair, I didn't have any in my early thirties. I didn't find my first one until two years ago. Well, now I have a few more. I worried about them a bit at first, but I guess that I have gotten used to them. What you said made me smile. :) Thanks.
David
