When the little flâneur had no choice but to answer…
In my Visa application, I was forced to state what occupation I intend to take up in the United States.
To my amusement, I found that I had to flip through my first year media textbook just to confirm that the very vague title of “media practitioner” firstly had any sort of validity at all, and secondly, if it was safely vague enough not to have me feeling like I’m reaching for the stars (unlike if I’d picked another title, i.e. “journalist”). The great spangled stars, no less.
Should I be worried about my lack of ambition and conviction for a future occupation? Does this mean I have no ambition or conviction for who I hope to be?
