I realized yesterday that when a presupposition is assumed long enough, it becomes a perceived truth.  This perception can be so strong that decisions are made based on it and often times those decisions would be made differently if the truth was actually known.  Sometimes presuppositions are only debunked by epic failure while other times it just takes a conversation.  I had an email conversation yesterday that debunked an assumption that I had begun basing my plans for my future on.

I was relieved when the truth was revealed because I was stressing over how to make my plan for my future work.  I had assumed that the best option (or only option in my mind) to get unstuck from my current position in life was to get a master’s degree.  While educational level does come into play from sometimes, experience often times carries more weight.  Apparently the desire to get a master’s degree has a slight generational curve to it.  If I put it in terms of established generation versus emerging generation, the emerging generation puts a lot of stock in status via educational level and the established generation looks for someone with experience over a highly educated person who lacks experience.  It makes sense if you really think it through.

With that in mind I feel like I have a lot of experience, but it might not be the right experience to be able to move forward to the kinds of things that I want to do.  Then again, my assumptions have been known to be wrong before.  I guess I should let tomorrow worry about itself and focus on serving God today.
