Never Give Up

So, I am about four months into my job with Andrew's International and the United Bank of Switzerland and I already want something better. I need more out of life. I need something that I like doing as well as feel makes a difference in this world. While I like my current job, no one really feels an impact from the work I put into it. Anyhow, I am writing today to help bind myself into something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I am giving myself 9-12 months to find a career, not just a job, with something that I can be exremely proud of. Whether that be with a police force or some type of government agency. If by this time next year I haven't found something along those lines I will be enlisting in the armed forces. I have already spoken with a rescuiter twice. The branch I am most interested in is the Air Force. I would be enlisting to be an officer because I have a degree. There are a few different types of officer I am interested in and depending on my test scores/background investigations/and what they need... once I narrow it down I will be more certain which field I would like to pursue. By doing this I will gain a lot of life experience I otherwise would get and it will build my resume for when my time is up. The reason for my waiting to take this path is mainly two fold. First, I want to do something that makes an impact for the greater good and those I love. And second, I feel that it will set my life up for the future. The type of career I want would come a lot easier with a military background. If I have to set that goal aside for a few years then so be it because to me achieving that goal (no matter when) is most important. So, until this time next year I am going to strive to achieve my goal in whatever may I can manage. I will never give up whether it comes tomorrow or 10 years from now. Goals are meant to be attained and I will certainly do that.
