I spent Saturday at a leadership conference at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. One of the workshops I attended was "Marketing your Community Service Towards a Career or Internship." This particular workshop sparked my interest because I participate in a lot of community service projects and have always wanted to have a career that "made a difference."
The workshop itself mainly focused on integrating your community service into your resume but it got me thinking about making helping others into my career. I'm passionate about improving the lives of others and doing something that contributes to society. I'm not sure being a journalist would be as fulfilling as the aforementioned.
I'm not saying I want to join the Peace Corps. Okay, maybe I do kind of want to join the Peace Corps. But for fear of being another overly optimistic, ultruistic college graduate I'd rather do something more practical and local.
Either way, I've found something I want to further explore.
Pittsburgh Cares.
Peace Corps.
International aid work.
