The Future

Just to mention that lately I hve ben thinking a lot into what to do in the future. Well, it's no coincidence that a lot of the people around me are there already, I mean working their way through a job, a relationship, a family, a home.

It's no coincidence at all. Look at the people I hang around with - in the past week!: Out of my 3 best friends in Greece 2 are both into a long-term relationship, and one of them is married. My friend Evi got engaged recently, two friends from Lamia got married last year, my sister has had the same job for the past 4 years and owns a house. And only last week's updates has several examples of friends abroad that moved in a new place, country, house or got a job! Ok, so if THIS doesn't get me thinking and moving, what will? It's a hint straight-forward enough not to be a hint anymore.

Truth is, I don't even know where I will be in one year from now. I only know what I will be doing till November 8th and what "I plan" to do for the time after. So the plan is basically to finish university before I am done with the army, which is pretty much under my control, and start looking for an interesting job abroad. That's too general, I know, but at least it's a start. March onwards I will start looking into it, so by autumn I will have advanced, hopefullly sending CVs and queries around, and arranging interviews.

FAQ:
Why not Greece?
Big issue. But for now I would say I am a bit prejudiced around this. I think that it's not so much worth it to work for a company in Greece. And I don't wanna work in Athens, which is the city around which everything revolves in this country. I'd rather do something of my own if I am here and I don't feel like I will be ready for that in the next 3 years. Besides, my social circle abroad is probably bigger than in Greece and I find the whole scenery more exciting.

Whereabouts abroad?
Hmmm - dunno yet. But probably western Europe for now. Would easily go for Asia which I find very exciting as well.

Field of work?
Unknown, though there are a few ideas in my head but for now I am flexible as I haven't had the time to look into it in detail. That, my friends will help me work out :)

Seriously looking fwd to advance with this in 2005, start a new - exciting life!
