What if to What is?

O

Ever since I graduated last April 30th, I was wondering what kind of life or career I would be pursuing now I've finished a four year course that majors in Broadcasting. In ideal world most students who graduated in this course would automatically apply for a job in a network station, radio station or any job that is related to the course. But as our graduation ceremony ended I've realized that "Hey this is not ideal world at all" and as a very idealistic individual reality is something we all have to face because this is where life exist.

A friendly Chat
A classmate texted me one day and she asked how was I doing, so I told her I was doing fine and in return I asked her how was she doing as well. She answered me that she is currently on training with a BPO company somewhere in Makati and I said that's great but her next question was something I wasn't prepare of. She told me that she's a little bit confuse whether to pursue a career that Broadcasting is involve or face her family obligations financially speaking. I couldn't really answer her during that time because I was also in that the same situation where I wanted to pursue a career or job that I know is related to my course. However I was torn because I know that my family expects a lot from me and I was willing to meet those expectations. So in the end I answered her that whatever makes you happy, then go for it. As it may sound like a hypocrite that was the best advised I could give her.

What is?
I'm not denying that up until now I wanna know what is if I do pursue on my dream and just wanna stop wondering what if. But I've also realized that as you grow older, responsibilities will always be there and you can't just turn your back because at the end of the day it would still be there and you're only option is to face it and be matured about it. I chose to face my responsibilities because what matters most is the happiness of my family and that's what I want to know what is. My dream job would just have to wait and when that time comes hopefully doors would still open for me.
