So I had a really happy night that sort of turned to some crap slightly which i sort of need to get off my chest. So currently i'm a business student and that's never changing I love and I mean LOVE business. Well i'm going for my a master's in business but once I got to University I am dual majoring and going for a doctorate to PhD in Anthropology to become an Archaeologist. Archaeology has been my passion since I was 5 years old and saw Indiana Jones for the first time. Ever since I was a little kid I was obsessed with history and with working at archaeological digs. I've wanted to see the world my entire life and I've always and I mean always wanted to go into Archaeology.
Well I had an epiphany the other night that I couldn't lay in my death bed someday when I'm in my 80's wishing that I had been an archaeologist. I would resent myself for whatever time I had left if I knew that I could've done what I dreamed of and never ever did it. Well I love business and I want to get my degree in business so my plan is to dual major and get my master's in business and also get a doctorate to a PhD in Anthropology and go into Archaeology as a main career whilst still having a business background. I would love to be a man with multiple degrees someday but to be honest my parent's don't believe that Archaeology is a worthwhile profession. When I told my dad my plan to dual major and get two degrees he just rolled his eyes at me and mumbled under his breath that it was a waste of time. I don't mean to bring irony into the conversation but I really feel like Indiana Jones and his father. Indy's dad never believed in Archaeology either and only thought that Linguistics was a worthwhile profession. Indy ignored his dad and became an archaeologist and in truth that's what i'm gonna do but it's just so hard because I want my dad to be proud of me. I don't want to lose my dad knowing that he wasn't proud of me. I just also can't do only what he wants and not what I want because I know in 20 or 30 years I'll resent myself. I love archaeology and I love business too so i've decided to do both but I also want my dad to realize that this is my dream and not a waste of time. I'm just getting a bit tired of him not believing in me and acting disappointed all the time :(
