If you were not what you are what would you be. I am thinking that if you are teacher, but with all the other occupations out there what would you have been if the career you chose did not work out. I wanted to be a Kindergarten teacher and I ended up working as a nurse for 15 years except for short stints as an Infant/Toddler teacher. Now I am starting a career as a writer of study guides using pretty much what I have learned from school and jobs. I hope this is understandable.

@cherriefic I wanted to do this but believe it or not it is more fun and creative as a counselor. You can do more in the lines of different therapy modalities as in art, music, play along with talk.

I often think if I had to do it over again, I should have studied Counseling in College. At the time that I attended College, I really didn't know what to pursue. I ended up majoring in Communication and didn't really do anything with it.

Counseling at the undergraduate (Human Services) and at the graduate level are both areas that studying is kind of fun and it is never too late. Go back now.

I think I should have trained as a nurse, or maybe a pharmacist, or a chemist, or possibly a ground school instructor. I am currently working at a mail order pharmacy and preparing to make a career move to pharmacy tech. Like you, I am using skills I learned at my job.

I always wanted to become an artist or commercial artist that is my big frustration, I'm doing some paintings and drawings but I would love to do that as a career .
