When did you figure out what you wanted to be when you grew up?

I am getting ready to go back to college for the second time and I've taken a career test in hopes of figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. Business management is what it points to, but I just don't know if that's really want I want to do! When did you figure out what you wanted to do for a career? And does anyone regret the money paid out for school because their career decision was the wrong one?

At the age of six I found out what I whant to be...at my dad work place. I like what he is doing and that is what I whant to do.

You are very lucky. Evey thing I imagined I wanted to be when I was a child holds no draw for me now.

I am 29 years old and I never did figure it out. The only thing I have found it I am a great mother and wife. So I just work hard at that every day and when the time comes for me to work hopefully I will have finally figured out what I was put on this earth to do.

Well, I'm 36, and I've been a sahm for the better part of 15 years. I got back into the work force barely two years ago, but I want a career. I don't expect glamor and excitment, but something I'll love enough to do it every day until its time to retire!

I am 33 and still haven't figured it out. I don't like my job, but can't think of anything better to do!
