    Fyrewolf, go for what you want, DO WHAT makes YOU happy. I was told I couldn't be a Marine biologist because they don't make any money, because I'm not smart enough, because I'm a women, and a bunch of other dumb excuses. There was a time when I believed them, but now I refuse to listen to those anymore. There's no reason for someone NOT to be able to do something they have always wanted to do. Good job for NOT giving up! Much much luck to you in your career and your passion.

    My parents have always supported my ideals of becoming a Marine Scientist, but I have been told my so many people I can't do it. I have lost count. My aunt once said I wasn't smart enough to do this. I've been told science is a "man's job" by my godmother's friend. What kind of BS is that? Why is it a "man's job"? I was told by teachers and friends I don't make any money doing it? I believed these things for a long time. I was so lost about what I wanted with my life. I would never stand for an office job.. that's not me. It was either an astronaut or Marine biologist for me. I really really can't be a astronaut, because physically, I am not healthy enough. I have a heart condition and wouldn't be allowed in space by NASA or even the Russians and they are much more leneant about it then NASA! So, I'll have to settle for Marine Biology. Not that that's a bad thing! It just means, since I physcially can't go out into space, I was destined for Marine Biology I guess! Never again will I let ANYONE deter my dreams.
