What's Your Niche?

So I've been out of school for a year and a half and still haven't found the job I was hoping for. The thing is, I'm really not sure where I should be heading. I really don't know what I want anymore. I've had so many things pop up in my head, but I'm not sure what really sounds right.

I wanted to open an art store for a while, I even started doing research and was fairly well underway with what I needed to be prepared for, and then I decided that wasn't really what I wanted. Lately, I've been pretty focused on wanting to go back to school for my master's so that I can teach photography, but I'm starting to wonder if that's what I really want. Back when I was in school, I really wanted to be a fashion photographer, and I still would like that, but I have nothing in my portfolio to show for it. I even wanted to work as a graphic designer so I wouldn't be so stressed and lose interest in my photography, but my skills in graphic design seem to be lacking. Growing up I really wanted to write, and I still do. Not that I necessarily want to write a novel, but I definitely enjoy blogging.

My problem is I'm not really passionate about any single thing. I won't say I'm terrible at the things I love, but when I think of successful people, I think of people who dedicate all their energy to one thing they're passionate about. I enjoy so many things- photography, drawing, video games, fashion, graphic design, writing, feminism- that it's hard for me to dedicate all my energy into one thing. I feel that to run a successful blog, you need to limit your subject matter to one or two things, but even that's hard for me to choose. I'm afraid if I dedicate myself to one thing, I'll lose my passion for another. I wonder if other people out there feel the same way I do.

I guess I'll keep blogging about whatever until I figure out my niche.

Random Musings?

Not quite sure what I'm doing with this really... Guess I'll just be putting up random stuff that comes to mind.


I love photography and art, but I'm really not fond of the Mass Communication classes that come with my major. If there's anything that I really got out of my Mass Comm classes, it's got to be a new and more in depth understanding and interest in social networking.

I love anything with social networking and new technology; the idea behind sending an update of text, pictures, or videos at any moment from anywhere. It used to be an interest just because it was a way to keep in touch with people and it was what everyone else was doing. Now I've started joining other networks just to see something new and how it works.

Even now, I barely know anyone with a Twitter, but I love it. It's a great way to update and I would probably prefer it over Facebook if more people used it. Twitter is direct enough to keep my interest. Half the time I do anything with Facebook, it's just to play games.

A new network I've been checking out is Tumblr. So far of what I've picked up on, it's kind of like Twitter but you post a picture directly to your page instead of just a link to click on. My biggest issue with Tumblr is trying to update from your phone. There's an iPhone app, but for anyone without an iPhone, it's basically impossible to update from your phone.

If anyone has any other suggestions for networking sites to check out, pleas let me know! I still need to look into LinkedIn and I'm still developing my opinion about Blogspot.


That's all for know, I'll try and keep you all updated frequently enough.
