I've never been constant when it comes to what career field I'll be entering once I go off to college. With so many different fields and talents to utilize, it becomes rather difficult to choose what career to decide on. From being able to to making an image move in the way of an animation, to being able to read people's behaviors, it all almost seems overwhelming.
