What's Up With the Name? Full Time Amateur?
I have been out of school for a while now. I thought I would have found meaningful work and a stable career by this point. I have done a lot of searching. I’ve given myself to difficult work, moved several times, and taken chances on different career paths. I have not necessarily found that single, magical career path I had hoped for. I have noticed one thing, however—a pattern in my personality. Looking back, I recognize a strength in the willingness to continually begin new endeavors, so much so that, funnily enough, it seems that has been my job all this time—to start over again and again trying new things. Simply put, to be a full-time amateur.
And you know what? I’m getting pretty good at it.
I might even do it professionally.
