What's my age again?

Age is a very common thing but sometime doesn't make sense. Everyone gets older, so how can age differentiate between people. Age can be very misleading in telling someone's story.

Constantly there are pressures from both sides of age. Some people saying you're too old, and some saying you're too young. It's more common that we hear the latter. I'm in an in-between place. One example is summer jobs and internships. I feel like at this age a minium wage summer job is not what I need to advance my career. It might be necessary for the money, but no experiential value. At the same time, I am "too young" for most real internships. In the field of accounting, there is a very strict recruiting process that limits internships till the summer after your senior year.

As much as I want to be able to get an internship and hit the real working world, I am still "young". I want to enjoy one the last summers where I can hangout for 3 months and just relax. Making $2,000 in a summer is great, but I won't remember the money 20 years from now.

This in-between place is just a part of getting older. I'm just taking it one step at a time, learning all the way. When it's time, I'll be older.
