I have been thinking about what I am going to do once I get out of school and since I only have about a year and a half left now would be a good time to start thinking.

What do I want to do? I have no idea. I know what I do not want to do, be a DBA or a server administrator. I know that there is alway the option of joining the DSS or even the military. Why would join those you ask? Well, they are guaranteed jobs in a time of uncertainty in the economy and with job availability at a slump.

Guess it is just one of those things you take day to day.

I’ve come to realize that people (in general) are fickle creatures. I am not talking about the little issues in our day to day but in life changing experiences. We say one thing but down the road we turn our backs to our word and change the future forever. Very rarely do we think of the consequences of actions that will take place in the future because the result of the “now” is so appealing. In the long run though it is those short term decisions that will come back to haunt you.

Maybe this is where my distrust (I should say lack of trust) of people comes from. People will look you squarely in the eye and tell you something and you believe them. Why? Because you’ve known them, you’ve trusted them before, why shouldn’t you trust them now. Then, for a while, they follow through with their word, but not for long. As time goes on they either forget what they said or they no longer care about what they said so their word is gone. It may suit their needs today or tomorrow but next month or next year they’ll be wishing they could get their words back.
