i've been thinking a lot this weekend about careers. specifically about what i want to get out of mine. i'm not 100% sure how i feel about judging things based on imagined death-bed reflections, BUT when i imagine my future, i suspect that i'll feel more positive about life lived for others than a life lived for a corporation. now, i don't want to be hard on my corporation, because i think it in particular has some good and redeeming traits. AND i'm inclined to believe that anything done well has value. plus, my corporation has been good to me, and allowed many great opportunities.
all this said, i've been thinking back to my mat leave, about my strong desire to pursue a caring field (such as a non-medical role in the medicine field). i feel some reluctance because "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know", plus i'm not much of a gambler when it comes to big life decisions. but there are thoughts in my head. and i think they're worth considering and perhaps even worth planning for. not specific plans, just leaving some wiggle room in our future and positioning ourselves for possibilities down the road.
