    j/k. I honestly have no idea...i've been at my job for 10 years and will probably be there forever but I stay because I have no idea what else I want to do.

    I want to be a lawyer. Kind of almost there in one respect - but have my LPC to do still and it feels a bit risky funding it myself, so unless I can secure a training contract in today's economic climate it looks like I might have to do something else for a while after I graduate.

    I'm currently a first year in college working on a History degree with a Spanish minor. My dream job is to be an archivist for one of the Smithsonians. :)

    Wow... me too, sorta. Maybe not the Smithsonian but something more local for me. I'm just finishing up my Associates in Accounting (yup, found out thats NOT what I wanna do) and will be starting my Bachelors in History in the fall. :)

    When I first left school the big thing was to be a shorthand typist and secretary...these days called a PR. Due to a lot of illness, that was thwarted but I did get into office work..then all types of jobs to do with bookkeeping which I then taught myself to do and eventually took Bookkeeping and Accounts "O" Levels at the age of 50. Got a job doing that which was fab. I am now about to embark on an OU course in Law..I am now 77.

    YOU ROCK, girl! I wanted to be a secretary when I was in school - took typing and shorthand - and DID get a job like that (as a school secretary for 10 yrs). I now work in a school district as a Grants Specialist........with no degree, no further schooling.

    I don't intend to EVER grow up, though. I just keep changing, and as I near retirement, I'm thinking about the next phase!!!
