What do you want to be when you grow up?
« on: December 20, 2004, 01:08:42 PM »
If you're studying - what are you aiming for. If you've already grown up, were you able to fulfill your career goals?

I'm curious.

I wanted to be a math teacher when I grew up.

And I was one.  I guess since I never grew up, I didn't have to keep doing it.  But yeah, being happy in your job is very important.  I love my job so I can't really say that I regret anything.

I may get my real estate license to I can make more money in what I do.

I agree with Pb.  But on the other hand, who in their right mind would ever want to grow up?

To answer my own question  - I've always wanted to be a photographer, but that dream faded as I learned the tuiton of art school -  and the later payment of that job.  I''m  currently at state taking bio/chemistry classes with intention to transfer to USF - University San Francisco medical and major in pharmacy. However, I'll always have photography at my side, at least as a minor , or maybe as my discreet love.

Let's hope my hard work pays off.

When I grow up, I want to be Graham Chapman.

Or a musician.  But I suck.  So scratch that.

Welcome back! I hope you stick around to answer this.

What makes you want to be a mortician? I have always wondered what drove people (beyond continuing family businesses) into caring for the dead. Is it a service thing? Support for families? Is it a customer service (or lack therof) thing?

We have the New England Institute for the Study of the Dead and it is one of the hardest schools in the region to get into and I always wondered why....
