Killing in the name of…..Creativity
There
are many people who believe that creativity in today's society is slowly being
killed away due to the specific attention to the job issue that is in our
country. What I mean is in school today,
teachers are begin to become more concerned with what job fields are opening
and how to help you get them.
This is
a problem, the more and more we begin to separate ourselves from what we love
and care about doing, the more our career in the future will be a job and not
something you will love to do. I can remember my teachers telling my friends,
in high school, that what they wanted to be able to major in college would be
too hard to get a job field in. That is really backwards to me. One of my
friends had her mind set on becoming a criminal justice major in college,
ironically she is at Mount Union, but the teachers had always told her she
would not be able to do it. No when she gets to college it is; "I have to
go to class" instead of, "I can't wait to get to class".
I am
afraid that for all the kids in high school, and in middle school are being turned
away from what they love. Just because a job field may not be necessarily open
to the fullest does not mean you cannot pursue what you love. There are so many
different openings than just the job you may want. If the career you may really
want might be very hard to get into(slim chance) but there may be something in
the genre. What you love to do is out there….just look around, you'd be amazed
at what you may find.
