I aspire to be a "writer" someday but haven't decided on a specific style or subject area to pursue. It's nice to imagine becoming a modern day Shakespeare, but society's strong business orientation makes it increasingly difficult to pursue this type of writing career. (Producing Shakespeare-quality work might also be difficult.)
In order to live a somewhat financially stable lifestyle, one must become versatile. I'm hoping to do this by utilizing my above-average writing skills to develop a diverse portfolio of business-compatible experience. Ideally, I would like to a number of possible of career opportunities that will allow me to avoid extended periods of post-graduation starvation.
As soon as I write a best-selling novel or screenplay, however, I'm retiring from the business world and moving to the beach.
This world makes our careers harder and harder to pursue, doesn't it? I love your last sentence.
