22, What to Do?

Tonight, while filling out application materials to get my Ph.D in Political Science from Indiana University—with the application half filled out, and a letter to a former professor written but not sent—after months—no, years!—of deciding that this is what I’m going to do, it occurred to me that it isn’t what I want to do.

A brief history for you: I’ve never known what I want to do.

An advanced degree is something that, in theory, I am very interested in.  I value knowledge over just about everything.  Politics is something that I’m both interested in and understand very well, so it made sense to put the two together.  I learn everything I can learn about politics, and get a fancy degree as a tangible symbol of how much I learned.  How great!  But I’m starting to think that I’ve only convinced myself that this is the right choice, because I’m constraining my options to what I already know and the degree I already have.

Have I mentioned that I love learning?  I love learning.  I want to know all there is to know about not just politics, but everything.  If I could, I would go back and get degrees in Economics, Sociology, Philosophy, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Horticulture, Civil Engineering, Statistics, Religious Studies, Russian Studies, History, and Psychology.  All of them.  I want to travel to every corner of the globe, just to learn about the people there and see what they’re all about.  I sort of have learning ADD.  I want to learn everything I can about a topic, and then move on to something new.  I am an INTP to a T.

My concern is that I will end up all holed up and spend all my energy pursuing a vast knowledge of only a fraction of the things I’m actually interested in.  I suppose in a tight labor market, constraining myself and becoming really good at that one thing makes sense in terms of finding a job.  But there’s so much more that I want to do!

Okay, I think I’ve sufficiently fleshed that out.  It all makes much more sense now than before I wrote it.  Unfortunately, that still leaves me without a next step, which is concerning as deadlines fast approach.

Oy.
