I Graduated... Now What?

Its been a long time since I last wrote a blog. Well, I recently graduated and I've been enjoying my time off from working and school. I have been productive this past month with building my network and focusing on my craft. Despite my excitement about my future and about graduating, I am extremely annoyed with the question... "What are you going to do next?" Lately I've just been responding with, "I don't know." That's absolutely a lie. I have a plan, a plan a , a plan b and a plan c!

What I have noticed about this question, "what are you going to do next, "is that it often (not always) comes from a place of fear. There are some people who are genuinely curious but there are others that are concerned and scared for me. They live in fear of job security and economic woes, so they ultimately think that I do as well. They want to hear me say I have a full time job with benefits or I'm going to grad school. How do I know you ask... let me explain...

Usually following that question is, do you have a job? It scares me that so many people think that the way to success is getting a 9 to5 job. First of all, I have a goal of acquiring wealth. As a few of mentors have told me, you don't acquire wealth buy working for someone else. I have found that to be true. I have other issues with the 9-5 system , but I'll cover that in another blog. Although I know to get where I am going I will have to work for someone else for a bit, I won't be there long. So no, I do not have a full time job with benefits (and im getting kicked of my mother insurance in month, now take that lol). I am not ambitiously looking for a full time job, either.

The next question that I keep getting asked is, "Are you going to grad-school". No I am not. I have no plans on going to grad school anytime soon. I'm knocking grad-school it just doesn't fit my plan. Most people proceed to tell me that my bachelors is worth a high-school education and that if I wanted to move up in the corporate world and make more money I will need a masters.

Please, do not project your fears on me. A masters does not guarantee success. And I don't give a damn about moving up in the corporate world. I just want to tell these people that I will be highly successful because I am going to follow my heart and my divine purpose. Traditional schooling no longer fits my plan. Getting my bachelors served a great purpose in my learning experience. I am grateful to have been able to attend college however, grad school would take me off my path.


In conclusion, I do have a plan! However, my mother always tells me, "You can't share your goals with everyone." I have found this to be true. Some people will not understand yout, so they will project their fears on you, by shooting down your goals or negatively criticizing them. Therefore, I have decided to only share my plan with a few people. I'm very talented, driven and I will be successful, by my terms. I will live a life of peace, attainment and entrepreneuriship. So don't sleep on me, I'm on the come up!
