Do you know? Are you already doing what you want to be doing? Or are you like me and you don't have a clue what you should be. I would love to know what I could be good at. I'm strong in math and yet when I look at careers in that field, I think they would make me go mad. SLOWLY. I like working on computers, but I don't want to sit at one all day. I think I could be a great teacher, but the pay just totally sucks in NC. And I really hate to admit that money would have a factor in what I do, but damn it. I don't want to work my ass off and get paid change. I'm considering something in the health field right now. Both Physical therapy and diet/nutrition consultant sound like good possibilities. I want to have a career that I feel proud of. I want to help people. I don't want to be behind a desk all day. But most importantly, I want to be happy and look forward to work. After all, I will be giving up being a homemaker to do this.
How did you figure out what you wanted to be? Was it something you knew from an early age? I always thought I would end up in the computer programming field. And in fact was only 3 semesters from a BS degree when I became pregnant with my 1st. Now almost 8 years later, I think that I could not stand doing programming all day. But at the time, I was SURE that was the best choice for me. However, that was before I had kids and responsibilities that were far more important than just myself or money.
I'm taking some time to go by the library and check out some books on career & personality tests that may help me decide what will be a good fit for me. I'm really hoping that this will give me some good feedback to work with. I am quite literally scared to death to make a wrong decision. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing something that I hate. Again, I want to be happy.
I'll update soon about what choices I'm going to go for!
