Opportunity Popularity

Or: the popular opportunity.

Oh God, I'm not feeling so sure about tomorrow, I mean tomorrow will be fine, but what about the next couple of months? Sure things will be fine, I'm well and healthy but I'm stuck on how to get this career thing rolling. This has been my greatest bane, all my life. Being such it has tied in with all of my relationships. Where will I go? What will I do there? The main thing is to be sure of where I am. Where am I going?

I have a pretty good picture of where I am. I know Sackville is a small university town. I have inadequate employment, I rent a room in a four bedroom house, I'm roughly 90G in student debt, and I have about 5G of assets in musical instruments and maybe 2G in textbooks. My wardrobe is worth maybe 2G, and the rest of my material posessions are hardly worth mentioning.

This leaves me with my education as my biggest asset. How can I impliment my education to create opportunities for others? What can I train students to do for work? If I were to list my qualifications and experience... it could be summed up very neatly in three words: electronics, music, and psychology. Sound like fun? Maybe a novelty boutique? Electronics: devices, design, repair, instruments Music: recordings, apparel, performance, composition, instruments Psychology: testing, senses, social, developmental, learning, memory, attitudes, behaviour, statistics, research, experiments.

What does guitar and psychology have to do with each other? That's what I have to find out.

A quick Googling has led me to an interesting revelation: there does not seem to be a definitive bridging between the two disciplines.

The first page I navigated to detailed a classical guitar method. The second page brought me to a video I had seen once before of a student at the MIT Media Labs, an interesting rendezvous, I would like to work there. The third page is an article on the psychology of games the likes of guitar hero and rock band.

I still think my original 3D rock and roll hollogram show/revolutionary commerce system/mmmorpg would be sweet. A nice place to end, now to step back through all the steps to get there. MIT does seem like a logical step. Definetely a step in the right direction. It should help me consolidate my qualifications and experience so that I'm able to determine appropriate outcomes for myself.

I really enjoy my creations. I'm looking forward to creating something other people can enjoy. It will be much less stressful once I'm earning a decent living. I hope everything works out ok.
