Quarter Life

I've been panicking lately thinking that I'm 25 this year and should start building my life. Or is making a name for yourself really important? How important is one's achievements? Just caught in a crossraod. I know that I'd like to grow old in the field of education. But it is somehow a For love or money kind of thing. On one hand, I'd like to build a career in teaching. On the other hand, I need to be practical because i love to travel and of course i need money for that! If i remain single then saving up money from teaching in order to travel may be possible...God..I wish I knew the future. One compromise is to make my own pre-school. Funny thing is, I never thought of making education as a business! Argh! I'd like to build something on my own...whether it be a business or a profession...So many things to figure out! I just feel that I have to start now! BUT then, there are things that I'd still want to do that if i do, will make me start on something much later...like two years...these are studying mandarin in China ( for fall back should things get worst in the Philippines) or a scholarship in Japan...both will take at least a year...waiting for things to fall in place..and be able to put my foot down. Right now, I'd like to go back to teaching asap, but i'll have to make some practical considerations....can't rush...
