If you were back in HS/College what would your career goal be? Would you still choose the same thing you're doing now?

My career goal was and is to teach. I love it!! But I think I would have went for a dual certification in Spanish and Special education. I would be better prepared for anything the job market has for me. If not that, I'd go for elementary ed. Those kids are too cute to work with!!

i would have still followed the same track in college, but i definitely would NOT have gone to grad school and spent 6 years getting my PhD. I would have been a genetic counselor instead. Research really isn't for me

I sometimes regret not going to the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse since I wasn't 100% sure that's waht I wanted to do when I was in H.S.
I think in the end I made the right choice but I feel like I would've had a clear direction in a specialized program instead of wishy washing for the first 2 years of undergrad

In high school I wanted to be a sidelines sports reporter for ESPN. I went and studied journalism in college, then realized I had a knack for PR instead, and switched over.

I would have listened to everyone who told me when I was starting college to major in Child Study and become a teacher. Instead I have a Bachelors in Business Administration and am now going to Grad school to switch careers and become a teacher. I am grateful that there are programs out there for teacher prep that allow you to easily transition. If i had to do a second Bachelor, I probably would never had decided to make the switch.

I love what I do...i'm an accountant...but I think I would have tried to be a lawyer. At one point in college I was taking alot of business law classes and accounting classes and I was torn about what to major in. I obviously picked accounting and make great money doing it but I must say I REALLY love to argue! lol I think I would have made a great lawyer.

I always said I wanted to be 'an artist' when I was younger. I'm a photographer so I suppose I followed my dream.
Granted, this is after about 10 years worth of being a CEO's b*tch that I finally followed my dream. lol.

Re: ~*~*~ QOTD 8/5 ~*~*~
My first BA was in psychology and I am back in school now to get my bachelors in nursing. I wish I would have done it the first time around. My parents paid for my first bachelors so now I am taking out loans for this one and if I would have just done nursing in the first place I wouldn't have any loans and hopefully a good job by now

I loved what I went to school for (esp my masters in forensic psychology) but it's totally useless right now.
I wish I hadn't rebelled away from accountancy (what the rest of my family does) because I'd be rolling in it! Now I just work in social service!
