Japanese Beautiful Model - How come some people are doing what they love to do?

How come some people are doing what they love to do?

I'm a well educated 25-year-old woman. I'm currently working as an admin head in an.events management company. It's my third job. I've worked as an English instructor before and as a secretary but that was before I did my Bachelor's in Business. I graduated with honours and second in my class. I am currently studying from my Master's in Int'l Business through correspondence. I am ALSO studying for a diploma in Int'l Development (poverty reduction, human rights, etc). I feel very educated for what I do and consciously make an effort not to get depressed about it. The pay is above average. I live in a metropolitan city and in a rich country where no one lives below the poverty line! My aim in life is to merge together my corporate experience with sustainable development to help the poor. I love teaching too but no one would hire me as I have no experience. I mean COME ON there are thousands of teachers. None of them had experience before they started teaching. The people I work with are wonderful, colourful, friendly (marketing folks). My boss is great too. No attitude, no rudeness, and more like a big brother to everyone. But everyone else's goals and my goals are very different. Or they just seem different. They thrive on glamour, women, alcohol, profit. I like money too but I'm not going to sell my soul for it! I was always the 'good' student, had higher expectations, loved writing, teaching, learning, and aim to work in an environment that respects education more than bikini models. Needless to say - I don't look bad and I'm fashionably intelligent which is often misunderstood for 'dumb' girl. Am I being too hopeless - too soon? thank you both positive and negative answers. maybe I am being narcissistic and annoying. and maybe I do envy. It's good to look at it this way too.

Dare to live, and you will.
Are just a crazy narcissistic bitch? Or are you advertising for a teacher training company?
With all this "curriculum vitae" of yours, why are you "envying other people's lives"? It's how you worded your question, that makes me think of that....
Find your people; the people who have the same goals and aspirations that you do. Remember that what you are exposed to, including people, can effect you. All parts of your environment are key to who you are and become. You may not have a ton of choice on how that goes but you have a little bit. If you want to get into teaching or to get experience you might find somewhere that will hire you as a teacher's aide first, if that's available. I became a teacher, as an aide, in a special ed class very very easily with no degree. It was not for mental retardation but for (severely) emotionally disturbed teens. Lots of counselors were part of the class structure. With me and another co-worker, they basically needed "anyone". It's a tough experience but that's where some teachers start. (But it can be a desperate measure.) I'd definitely suggest looking up Barbara Sher's site. She has a lot of good advice and books on how to do what you want to do, even if you can't choose one thing.
No, what you are being is an annoying byatch
if you are educated and intelligent then why would you ask this question you can keep this job until something that you like to do come up a job is better than no job
