a new career scope...?

So yesterday I was in the kitchen cooking and preparing to make fettucine carbonara right? Until I got kinda peckish and decided to look in the fridge for food and I found …. –drumroll-

PRAWNS.

Oh my god. Prawns! You never see a bowl of fresh prawns in the fridge and so I just sat there and dogged all my cooking responsibilities and just sat there and peeled prawns and ate them and I ate about half of them.

But eating the prawns isn’t the point about this, you see…

Because while I was eating these prawns I was in some sort of mental trance or something else as dumb as that and I was just thinking.. one though after another and it was like so much brain powerrrrrrrr! Haha I kid

But yeah, I was just spacing out and thinking while.. uhh.. eating prawns.

And I thought about university, what I’m studying at the moment and I thought .. Okay, so right now I’m studying business and psychology as a double degree and I thought ‘Yeah, I’m gonna try and get into human resources and its gonna be awesome working with people and other things that HR does that I haven’t found out about yet’. So to me, it just sounds really appealing working in HR.

But then I thought about these holidays and how I’ve been planning so many parties, get togethers, reunions, birthdays, those kinds of things. And I thought… maybe… I’m good at being anal and planning things.

So it struck me, that what if I took up event planning as a career? What does it involve? What do I do? The first things that came to mind was stuff like funeral planning and wedding planners… but I’m not too sure… I’ll have to look some of this up…

Event planning seems a lot like human resources though. Considering in really large companies the HR departments tends to organise trips or events that’ll keep the employees motivated to work and its all about positive psychology in the workplace and that… but maybe event planning is more suitable for me?

I’m not sure, I’ll have to look up this stuff on the uni website and what courses I have to study to get into such a career… But then again, there doesn’t seem to be much demand of event planning here in Australia since event planning has always seemed more of an American thing since they’re always so time constrained and money rich, you know?

Hmm.. I’ll have to do some research on this.

But while eating prawns, this kind of subtle epiphany doesn’t happen too often. I’m glad it did, I’m a lot more open minded to the idea now :)
