What I want to be when I grow up?



Remember when people asked you that question? I think I changed my mind all the way until my last year of college. When I was 5 I wanted to be a professional traveler, at 7 I wanted to be a teacher, at 13 I wanted to be a politician (WTF?!) and when I was 18 I wanted to be a lawyer. I ended up being an educational psychologist which I am still not sure how to define it to my parents.

What I know... I don't do therapy but friends and family still think I do. I have little to no knowledge about psychotropics (I only know the fancy term LOL!). That no matter how much I explain it to everyone people still ask me why I don't open my own practice. To my mom I chose this career because I couldn't get into law school (which by the way I never applied to!).

I am currently watching one of those design show again. And it dawn on me that if I were to choose a career today it would be very different. Some of the options I came up were:
  • Handywoman -- I LOVE LOVE to build crap. I can see a beginning, middle and end. There are no shades of gray in the work (unless I'm painting). 
  • Event Planner -- I am outgoing and can be creative if I need to, especially with other people's money. 
  • Home Decorator -- again I would do great with other people money!
 Ok... I know what you are thinking. STOP watching HGTV!!!!! But who knows maybe my future career is somewhere in there. Keep u posted!
