What were your wishes/dreams after highschool? What career path did you want? Did it end up going your way?
Majority of the time, when you're in highschool you have wishes to be this/that but it sometimes doesn't go that way. I know, it isn't going my way. I know a lot of people who's ways ended and it turned opposite.
I wanted to go to school for teaching, turns out I'm going to school for business... now I sort of don't like business and might switch the major again... School is hard especially with all the budget cuts causes more stress and what not.
Did your wishes ever end up going your way?

I wanted to be a psychiatrist :) I always love to observe, define and help other people with their emotional struggle. I want to understand how and why humans behave the way they do. I didn't become a psychiatrist though but I become a social worker which I never regret being because I think it's more interesting that being a psychiatrist.
But believe me, before I was a senior in high school, all my life I wanted to become an astronaut ^_^

Hello bby! I was making an stage at Paris, when I had to choose my career. I was 18 and I was missing my parents so much. So I decided I wanted to be with my parents. And my father had a medium sized business, so I thought that marketing was the best to help him. And marketing is used and needed almost everywhere. I graduated with honors. I worked two years. When I was going to marry, my parents decided to get divorced 6 days before our wedding, and a day after my birthday =(. So I decided to be a stay at home mom, because my original family was broken in pieces. We had three children, 12, 10 and 8, and now I have three years beginning to work again in marketing, online mkt, I have my own eshop, thanks God... =) Blessings!... Dainy

I've learned that you have to realize what you wanna do just before taking a course in college because that will be the start of the path for your career. Stupid me, I took engineering instead of 3d modeling and animation and now I just lost all hope of continuing it and instead looking for freelance jobs of 3d graphics online. I'm actually planning on taking internships with regards to 3d but I don't know where and when. I'm currently tied up to my job and my family.

Big NO!
I wished to graduate at the age 20 but did not because I need to stop going to school. Although it did not go my way, I realized this is reality and I have to face it and have to do something for my wishes to come true even though it is a little late.
Like what they said.." it is better late than never".
