pondering today

isnt it funny how in the world today we come to define ourselves by our career? i thought of this because of all the many "user profiles" i have filled out (and edited) recently..... almost everyone introduces themselves by where they went to school, what degree they have or what they studied, or what job they have now...... as if that really can begin to describe who we are!

think about it.... how many times have you met new people and one of the first things you get out of the way is "what do you do?" and then more details are attained after that...... it is the worst when you cant really say anything (i just got out of that stage)

anyway, i just wrote my profile for this site and i found that i automatically wanted to say "i graduated from ASU where i studied........blah blah blah" while design is a HUGE passion of mine..... that does not even begin to describe me

" Hi im Ginger, Im a designer"

its such a front really, the world striving to attain titles just for an identity...... so really then, what do we want people to "know" about us?? What would we say if we didnt have our college and career driven society?

"Hi im Ginger, i like to sing in my car with the radio blasted"

Could you imagine? I think that says so much more about the type of person i am then my career or where i went to school : )
