Do you know what you're gonna be when you grow up?

If you consider yourself "grown up" already, have you succeeded in your lifetime goal?

Something medical. I was planning on being a nurse. May go into something different. I'm squeamish and the work it takes to be in that kind of career is intimidating to say the least, but I honestly can't imagine myself doing anything else.
 
adorable title is adorable

Musician, singer, and songwriter. That's what I'm already doing, but my dream is to become a household name someday.
 
i think i want to be a bio-chemist, or just a chemist if thats too much ah
i've always enjoyed mixing up different products when i was little so i hope i can make a living from it

or maybe an IT

There are a ton of very different things I'd like to at least give a try and I wanna experience as much as I can, so I don't really have anything planned out. What I want the most though is to get into the medical field, probably nursing.

Same. :) Which doesn't surprise me, from what I've seen our personalities seem fairly similar, so it kind of makes sense.
 
EI have a huge dilemma.
I intern at an animal clinic and my fellow intern got offered a job. I didn't. I feel awful...awful...
I'm starting to rethink my career...but not because of this event specifically. I just thought that money would be an issue and that I'd never pay back student loans...I wish college was free like in some countries but not here...

I thought about becoming an animal trainer...my animal health care teacher taught dogs, lions, cats, sheep and everything to jump through hoops and such... I just thought that she was an amazing woman who had so much knowledge and experience. I'd love to do what she did or is doing now but still...trainers I heard are one in a million. You make it or you don't.

But I haven't known what I wanted to do for a long time. My mom asks me all day and I say vet and my teachers ask and I say vet but damn...I have a friend who is twenty-one and he works in a pizza joint...but he's happy. I admire that just like The Big Lebowski...There's a lot of pressure from people to hurry up and choose.

Do you know for a fact what you're doing? Do you have it all planned out?

I'm in a similar situation, right now I'm working as a produce clerk in a grocery store.
I can't even begin to tell you how horrendous and mundane my job is.

I went to college to get into welding before working as a clerk, but I realized after 3 weeks that I made a horrible decision. I hated the atmosphere, the work, and almost everything associated with it. I actually skipped half a week to work up the nerve to tell my parents that I'm not doing this anymore and dropped out. Honestly, leaving that college was the best decision i've ever made in my life.

Each day, I get people close to me constantly bugging me about what I should do for a career and not what I want to do.

Right now, I'm extremely stressed out about what to do. Each day is a struggle. I'm hoping I figure it out soon, so I can finally get on with my life and leave this stupid grocery store behind me.

Sweet! I wish you good luck with getting there, or with whatever else you may decide you want to do. :)
 
I am already "grown up", so to speak, and I still haven't a clue :c

"To be inflexible or indecisive...?"
I would pick the former any day OTL
 
Ha! I am grown. Full time mom to 4!!! But... I also have a pretty bad @$$ zoology degree that I'll hopefully use one day when I am able to go work at the zoo :)
 
I've been in my career for a few years now, and it's not something I'm particularly passionate about. I've always wanted to do something in the realm of biomedical research and have entertained the notion of going back to college, but I'm definitely no spring chicken and almost feel like it'd be too late to realistically pursue an alternate path, especially when the degree would take multiple years to earn. I essentially use my off time to indulge in my passions and am thankful that I have the job that I do, despite the fact that it's not terribly interesting (to me at least).

That being said, I think you should do what makes you happy. If veterinary work isn't tickling your fancy, try to figure out what does. Try to determine the kind of life you want for yourself long-term, and try to choose a career that matches up with your financial and lifestyle goals. Unfortunately, very few people are lucky enough to make a lot of money doing something that they're also very passionate about, but that's not to say it's not possible. Just maintain a practical viewpoint and don't worry if you're unsure of what you want to do. It takes a pretty ambitious sort to brave veterinary school, so I have faith that you'll be just fine regardless of what you choose. Best of luck to you. :)
