I got a college degree, and worked for only a year in my profession before my son was born. I wasn't planning on having a child then. But, often, what we plan in life and what we get are two different things!

I continued to work at that company full-time for another four and a half years after he was born, then I quit that job and bought my own business.

This is my personal opinion, based on my own experience. I would recommend you do/see/go/be what you want now, before you have children. Because once you do, EVERYthing changes. I'm not saying you can't have a career and kids; I did, millions of people do. But everything else is harder with kids.

I can think many things I wish I would have done while I was young and childless. Yes, I could still do them now, I suppose, technically ... but how you see the world changes dramatically in two decades. I wish I would have lived a little more for me first.
