Today is the “official” last day of school (there’s still finals week to worry about). Aside from the existential crisis me and 93.89% of my classmates are going through, things are going swell. I’ve pretty much adapted to life back at my childhood home, which is never something I thought I would say. Once I left for college, I rarely ever came back; winter and summer breaks were spent away from home, and I only came home for birthdays and Christmas. So, what to do now, what’s the next move in my the game of chess that is my life?
Originally, I was going to move to NYC with my best friend to start a job that I had secured before graduation. Pretty much everything about that statement doesn’t make sense anymore. NYC has the most cases of coronavirus, my friend is having doubts about moving there, and the job I had secured has been retracted. However, its been a lifelong dream to move to NYC and try to make it big, and I’m not exactly to give up on that.
Although I studied Environmental Policy and Spanish at college, my main interest lies in project management. I’ve worked since freshman year with local firms while still attending classes, and my senior year I was given $10K from Marist College to head my own 13 acre preserve development project. I think my next step (aside from passing these finals *fingers crossed*) is to pursue the CAPM, which is an exam that if passed makes you a certified assistant project manager. From there I’ll take on a job, literally anywhere in the United States, that will take a shot on me being a junior project manager. From there I’ll take the PMP which is project manager professional, and work on projects as a project manager. Maybe go back to school for management consulting. Maybe work for McKinsely & Co. Maybe leave and start my own firm, or corporation. I don’t know, just some ideas. Hopefully they work out, and if they do, I’ll come back to this website and let you know.
Best wishes until then!
