Did you know which career you wanted to do?

I was too young then to think of what I want or which profession should I pursue. Even when I was in college, I'm still confused which path to take. It was 2 years after I got my diploma when I decided that I want to become a Business development or organizational development consultant which is the reason why I am currently enrolled in post graduate class.=)

n0, i didnt kn0w what i want then. I studied until i was 20 after c0llege.

when i was 14, people, especially friends and relatives, have their own career pictured for me. i was confused because all of them are really good. when i went to college, i have to admit, i didn't like what i pursued. it was about 2 years in college that i begin to like what i do and developed it. i got even more motivated and admitted that this is the career for me, a business consultant...:)

I had no idea of pursuing any career maxima because we were brought up with the firm conviction that career is not for women and that we would be homemakers.But strangely I had an extremely successful career as a freelance teacher.Stranger still is the fact what my friend told me once. We used to play together when we were very young [less than 10] and she reminded me later after I chose a successful freelance career path for myself, how I used to keep on teaching all my friends as though I were a teacher in front of a blackboard.She remarked" you showed these signs even when you were in 5th standard and sixth standard Kala".And of course I studied up to my 22nd year when I finished my M.A. IN lITERATURE.

I remember well, as a youngster, and well into my teens, all I wanted to be was an architect. Unfortunately, in those days, and with strict Catholic parents, there was only one place in my State where this was possible, and that was too far from my home, so I couldn't fullfil my dream.

When i was that age... i wanted to become an astronomer so that i can study the stars and other heavenly bodies... i am still interested in the subject... but my career right now is totally different from that... never in my wildest dream did i imagine to be in this kind of job... and i did not even study for ths one in college because i took up Education... or the course that trained students to become a teacher...

When I was younger I wanted to be a school teacher. I have four younger siblings and during the summer we would play "school" and I loved pretending to teach them things. By my 10th grade year I was sick of school and decided against becoming a teacher. I also thought of being a lawyer because I loved to argue, especially when I knew I was right about something. For either job there seemed to be a lot of schooling involved and I just wasn't into school. I didn't mind the work, I just didn't like the people. Now I work in a doctors office and I make decent money. I still think about what I wanted to be and even still consider going back to school because I'm still young, but I doubt that will happen.

Oh yes! I wanted to be a singer for years and years and years, even before I was 14. Yes, I did a lot of studying after age 18. I majored in music when I was in college. I even made a record one time. It didn't get popular, though. I have also auditioned for jobs at places like Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee and Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. It's very hard to get a break in the music business. Just because you don't make it doesn't mean that you're not good. There are people out there trying to make it in the music business all the time. We just don't realize it, though. I still sing every chance I get and I still play the guitar, piano, and the harmonica. I sing at one nursing home and one assisted living facility every month. I also sing in the Messiah every year around christmastime. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be singing and playing the guitar in downtown Jasper this coming Saturday at Heritage Day. I plan to do a discussion about this later on. I have even sung on television a few times. I just decided not to make a career out of it after all. It's just not the life for a christian, for one thing. That was a pretty tough decision for me to make because I wanted to do it for so long. Kathy.

I think when I was 41, I would know which I career I wanted to do. Or maybe not too. When I was 14, I only know I need to study and study hard to get good results to keep my bursary. I came out to work and study part time after graduating from high school. Grabbing any job that comes by is difficult, not to mention going for a career.
