today my son said he wanted to be a policeman and its got me thinking of what I had wanted to always be. I always wanted to be an airline pilot but never took it up due to financial costs when I was 18. I still now regret that I didnt spend the money and train to be a pilot when I had the chance. Tho I guess if I did I wouldnt be my own boss now. What have you always wanted to do ?? and have you got any regrets about where you are now ??

When I was a kid, I knew what I want to be when I grew up, I wanted to be Spiderman !.....I have acheived this in status due to my ability to climb up vertical walls although have never got to wear the suit. I won't complain about the mundane day job as things have gotten better over the years, so I suppose that I have no big regrets.................gotta go now benny, my spidersense is tingling.......

When I was a kid I always wanted to drive a big truck. Those guys seemed like the kings of the road and they got to travel all over the country. As I got older I realized they didn't make big money and were away from their families almost all the time. As a result I went into another field (computer services). While I usually enjoy my job, some days (especially the stressful ones) I still dream of the freedom of the road! (although I am sure driving a big rig over some snowy mountain pass, or trying to make a delivery with a tight deadline would be plenty stressful!!)

All my bad luck started becoz I didn't get a job. I decided on doing an IT degree and I joined the institute. In that institute, the final yr is online. Once I completed my first two yrs And waited for the final yr online program to commence, I got different new and advice from others saying that its no use i learning online spending 6000 sterling pounds. Mean while I was looking for a job and didn't get any. Due this mum was frustrated and did not want to spend much money on my final yr education and almost planned not to do the final yr unless I get a job. At last my aunts and uncle were saying " y not just finish ur degree, coz its just one more yr to study and I will be graduate." After that, I joined a different institute which had no publicity but the fees was ok and they conducted Masters and PHD degree. Bcoz they conducted those degrees we assumed that the institute and the university affiliated with this institute will be really god and I joined it. But after joining only I knew about their administration and course coordination. Its really bad.Also the university affiliated with this institute is not accredited and a good one.The uni is "Preston University" of USA,Alabama. If you guys know any info about this site please write to me at:vsinduja@ymail.com. Now that I completed the degree by 2008 oct, but still haven't received the certificate from the uni. Wen I ask the institute, they are not giving a good reply. I am confused....
