Doubts

Do you ever have doubts? Because I have doubts. There are a few things I am certain of in my life, that is my family, my wife, and that about sums it up. The rest is all doubt. I have never been a very ambitious person, never really had the drive to be rich, powerful, even really successful for that matter. I have always jut wanted enough to enjoy my life on this earth. I had one plan in my life, to join the Air Force and it seems like ever since that plan didn't work out I haven't really found another one that suits me. I have spent the last 6 years years going to college either full or part-time and now that I am finally a few weeks from graduating, I don't know if this path I'm on is the right one for me. I have doubts, do you?

I love how no matter what these days you hear it all the time, you need to go to college if your ever going to get anywhere in this world. I think it is true for some people, people that have ambitions to be a certain something, to people that strife to a certain job, but it isn't true for all people. For some this saying is a slap in the face, some people have ambitions that are outside of college, that don't require it and yet are they really any less ambitious because their path leads them elsewhere? I love this saying because it is so vague and it doesn't really tell the whole truth. The reality behind that statement is what has started to affect me in my life now. College doesn't help you get a job.
Yes, you need that degree to get a job, but that degree isn't considered experience in the real world, in the world of working people and so even though you have that minimum requirement, that minimum requirement that took you 4+ years of your life to accomplish, your still found lacking for most if not all jobs in whatever it is you received your degree for. I'm soon to be graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in Biometric Security, a field that has hundreds, probably thousands of job openings in America and yet I am pretty sure that I will have a hard time finding a job in my field. It's frustrating to know that all the effort that you have put into to getting your degree and that is the smallest requirement for many of the jobs in your field.
I guess i just needed to vent, but it really is the sad truth, very sad, but very true.
