    I graduated in 1991 with an AS and studied Travel Administration.....basically I learned the in's and out's of the travel industry. I had always planned on become a travel agent but I ended up a flight attendant instead, left that business and went to work in the hotel business, left that and went into the medical field.

    wow! that's so creepy/funny.. my first job was in advertising/jjournalism (can you guys tell..yakkity yak) but by a quirk of fate, i became a corporate travel agent for over 32 years. my overall plan, once i fully recovered from spine surgery, was to go into the medical field.
    heartfelt congratulations and lots of luck to all in all your exciting endeavours!
    depending how my wrist mends, will i be able to decide what new career to tackle.

    Have you ever done jury research? (Look at me trying to hock our product.)

    I had was an english major, with a focus of book publishing. I finished that major, and decided that I would never, ever do anything with it. Basically, you sit at a desk all day, pushing a pencil and correcting grammar and spelling errors. While it might be for some people, it just isn't for me.

    Then, I took a couple of courses in Phlebotomy (drawing blood), took an internship and loved it. I got a job working at a local hospital and hated it. I was put on the emergency room with basically no special training (that is *very* different than a lab setting) and quit 3 weeks later.

    Now, I have a job managing a small copy shop -- I do use some training I got from my publishing major, but for the most part not. I love, love, love my job, and can definitely see myself doing this 5, 10, 25, 50 years down the road. It's very diverse -- everyday is different. It's creative, and rarely is it boring.
