Careers

 

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Everyone thinks about that as a child...  then, overlooks it again until high school when they exposed to the potential of college...  or not college.

College is expensive so unless you are going to be a doctor, engineer, Teacher, scientist, physicist, lawyer, or some kind of professional, there is little need to go.

What do you want to be when you grow up is a misleading question because we are growing up throughout our entire career, and as we age, so too does our expectations of what having a good life is or is not.

Many of us do not like how we are being treated by our employers so we find ways of owning our own business, that we never thought about earlier in our lives.

Or, similarly, we find ourselves getting a degree in nuclear engineering, spend some time on a nuclear submarine, then spend the rest of our career as a nuclear consultant.

Of course, there are all sorts of variations to that, it was just a friend of mine shared that career path with me a while back.

Some of us work for 20-30 years and at the age of 50, decide we want out of the rat race and become a chicken farmer or invest in a vineyard.

The point is, what you want out of life changes as you grow older, so it is not that important, for some of us, to decide right away.
