When I think ahead about the next ten years of my life I have so many different paths that I could go down. With a Sports and Urban Turfgrass major and a Soil Science minor there are a lot of options open for me. I started working at my local golf course when I was 14 and just needed a part time job to make some money. From there things just kinda went up and up. One year I was on the ball picker cart for two hours a day and just this last summer I was the 1st Assistant Superintendent putting in 12-15 hour days to try to get the new course grown in on time for the opening date. Its crazy to think that in just 7 short years I ended up deciding where I was going to go with my life.
Thinking about the future makes me nervous sometimes. I (at most times) know exactly what I want to do, where I want to live, and exactly what kind of establishment I want to work for. Then I will start to thinking and think, am I really in the right place? This is my problem... I would love to end up at a prestigious golf course in upper California employed as a superintendent making six figures a year. Riding around on a gator all day and sipping coffee smooshing with bankers and investment councilors that are "working" today. That would be my ideal life (most days). Then there is another side of me that just wants to pick up and move to somewhere like Switzerland (no reason for Switzerland, just job available for me there) and basically start over in a new place and be off away from everything and everyone that I know. When these ideas pop into my head they intrigue me so much that I am scared to tell my family and friend (for fear of what they might say).
So, I really dont know where I will end up in the next ten years I guess. I hope that everything works out for me and that my family and friends support all that I do. But, hey, if they dont I guess its my life right?
