What I've Always Wanted To Be

A Civil Engineer. Now that's a thought. But then life played its sway and I ended up taking B.S. Computer Science instead. Why so? My sister, an Chem Engr, does not have any confidence in my math skills back then. Little did she know that my classmates in HS who asked me about Math took up engineering courses and some of them haven't failed one single course. _

Wow! I wanted to be a civil engineer too. I was very good at drafting and some math and calculation skills. But then, it was hard times wherein you have to choose between landing a good job and chasing your dream. I ended up a computer engineer, but i'm very happy coz as a kid I used to destroy my toys and look at the electronics stuff inside them. I was re-awakened by the course I took up, and was now inclined on technology stuff. Now, I ended up as a programmer. =)

Thats niceĀ“! Me i wanted to be a doctor but it did not materialize cause my mom enrolled me to an engineering course. I begun to like engineering and i did get my bachelors degree. I tried to find a good engineering career but i was not that lucky. But fortunately, i landed a job in sales. I love my sales job so far. And now, i changed my mind again, Im now into internet gaming and programming:-)
