Three times in the past week, that question, in one form or another, has been asked of me. And, it’s kind of got me thinking… because at 20 years old, I still don’t know the answer to that seemingly basic question. I mean, I think I have an idea of what I want to do. I’m on track now to graduate with a BBA in Computer Science - with the thought of being something of a computer systems administrator somewhere… but where? I really don’t know, nor do I know if that’s what I want (or more important, what God wants) for my life.

I’ve thrown around more than a few careers in my mind. I know when I was little, I wanted to be a pilot. Not really sure what got me off that track, other than my fascination with computer-ey things. Even in elementary school, I was the one that knew how to load the games for everyone else to play (we had old-school computers like this; 5 1/4″ floppy drives, command prompt only, etc.)… And now, though I know that my career will somehow be “technical,” I just don’t know how, or what, it will be. I know (and some of you can attest to this - and I’m sorry) that I like to be the guy with the answers; I like to be the “go to” guy. And being a computer systems administrator, I would definitely be a “go to” guy… but that also carries with it the whole “being a manager” thing - that I’m not sure if I would like or not.

If you know me, you know I’ve had some pretty amazing opportunities concerning my job on the breaks, and I’ve seen corporate America and even international corporate practices up close and personal… and I don’t know if being “a manager” is in my fiber. I don’t particularly enjoy my “Intro to Management” class, but that may just be because I find it pointless to assign all these terms and classifications to management and the processes that go along with it - because I’d say they don’t match up with real-world practices about 80% of the time.

And now, I have a job at Pioneer Drive Baptist Church as their Media Intern. I create the media that is used in Sunday morning and evening services, and some for Wednesday nights - and so far, it’s been fun. I enjoy putting these presentations together, and it’s giving me a chance to explore the graphic designer in me. I’ve always diddled in graphic design for myself, but not quite like this before. I was asked the other day if this was something I would consider doing as a full-time ministry - and again, I was lost for an answer.

But sometimes, knowing nothing is better than knowing it all - and somehow, I’m okay with that.

Tonight at work, I could not find the mens restroom, so… that’s right, I used the women’s. Why do girls get a carpet rug in their bathroom?
