I think I have finally decided exactly what I want to do in life, occupation wise,
and I have a do=able plan to make it happen.

Yes ... ???

And she's going to keep it a SEEKRIT!

When should we check back?

It will remain a secret until I finish my school and start doing it! So check back in about 2 years. :P

I have wanted to be a vet for my entire life, and at this point I realized that I may not have the personality it takes. I have a completely different path I feel like I NEED to go down, but feel as if I'm disappointing people that believed I could be a vet and supported me there.

Its your life and you need to do what makes you happy...period. My daughter forever wanted to be a vet and recently changed her mind, it was kind of dissappointing to me but its her choice. She is looking at going to med school now, veterinarians are required to go to a ton of school and just don't make that much money anymore.

I had a very good friend who said he wanted to be a vet from 1st grade through graduation. He got a scholarship and went to college to become a vet. He decided that wasn't what he wanted afterall. He is now a farmer, a husband, father of 3, school board member and very happy.

I had a dear friend who did all the work to become a doctor - the advanced degrees, the internships, and everything. But when he finally was an MD, he suddenly realized he could not take the stress of making life-and-death decisions. He then switched his focus, and became a software person who specialized in helping doctors understand and deal with new technology ... just as important, and even vital. He was much happier that way!

I have two Aunts that wanted be vets when they were growing up. One is now an agility trainer/dog groomer and the other is retired from the Navy. Both are extremely happy. My Optometrist wanted to be a vet, then realized how much more work it would be so went into eyes. My dentist couldn't seem to get into vet school so she turned to dentistry. I wanted to be that person, especially in my family, that actually was going to be a vet. I've finally realized that it's not what I really want to do.

I've decided I'm going to be a Mortian. The job as has always appealed to me, and I've always just joked about it. 2 years ago when I started at Ferris I decided to get an associates in pre-mortuary science because it only took one extra class and I thought it was humorous. Back in high school I took a forensics class and came to really liking the idea of being a medical examiner. Now I can make a that my long term goal, because it takes a lot of schooling. I'll stick it out at Ferris for 1 more year to get my B.A in Applied Biology (with the Associates in pre-mortuary), then go to Detroit for 1 year and get my B.A in Mortuary Science, do 1 year of aprenticing and be ready for a job!


I didn't mean to hijack this thread so much, just sort of sifting through my thoughts I guess.

That's cool. So you'll be like Dr. G if all goes well? I love that show. I've had people tell me I'd be good at that but I don't think so. I actually had a phobia of internal organs until I was about 7.

Well ... THAT Seekrit lasted all of about 4 hours ...

You're not "disappointing" anyone, Kiddo!

Keep yourself out of *trouble* and learn to do something that will be satisfying
to YOU, and the whole world will be Happy for you and Proud of you!

Make yourSELF Happy with your career ... don't worry about what "we'll think" -
"WE" don't have to approve of your career path - YOU otta pick what
YOU will enjoy doing and get personal satisfaction from doing.

Go Gettum, Kiddo!!

I've always wanted to visit the memorial on top of the USS Arizona.

I had my eyebrows waxed for the first time today. Being a redhead and having very light eyebrows, I had always been afraid that I'd look like I had none if I had them shaped. So I had them darkened first and then waxed. I never would have thought I'd ever do that. I don't know what came over me! LOL

I finally sucked it up and finished painting my library (after 4 years )!!! It may not be great, it may not be as nice as the guy who started it (my ex), but it's now DONE!

[Alysser]

I am the first white-out artist!

After beginning my condo renovations in June 2006, such as getting new floors in the kitchen and bathrooms, painting all of the walls,ceilings (except for the ceiling in the second bedroom),and doors by myself, I'm finally going to be getting new carpet installed on Dec.26th-possibly the 27th. Then everything will finally be finished and my condo will look so much better.
