The Dreaded Question
Posted on 24 January 2010
I’m graduating with a degree in business management in March. College is near over and the great freedom is about to begin or as I like to call it, the great unknown.
Finally being able to graduate is AWESOME! But there is one small problem that has presented itself because of the graduation. The problem lies in small talk. There are two topics that I usually** hate to small talk about. Work and school. What has happened now because of the upcoming graduation is that when people ask about school and I tell them the diddlydoo they congratulate me and then immediately ask me the dreaded “What are you planning on doing next” question.
I hate that question.
I hate it nearly as much as relatives asking if I have a girlfriend. The answer is no, no girlfriend and no idea what is next for me. Thanks for reminding me Mr. Person-Over-40.
This question wouldn’t be so bad, if people didn’t seem so letdown when you told them that you have no idea what is next. “What??! You aren’t pursuing a career in your degree as soon as you possibly can?!”
Nope. I’d like to move around some more and through my degree I realized that business sucks balls. I’m staying far away from anything business related.
I need to come up with some alternative to the truth so that instead of hating the question, I will love the question. Maybe I’ll just start telling people that I am going to start working in a business that manufactures furniture for space.
Yea, maybe I’ll do that.
**I am willing to small talk with you about my school and work if you are blond, single and love things that are awesome, like pinecones and pirates.
