AMEN! I can't tell you how my Mother still gripes that I didn't do medicine or law...as if those were the only 2 possible fields in which you could lead a comfortable life.

I'm 23, just graduated from college, majored in Communications, work for an Insurance Agency, am engaged to a wonderful man whose Marine Corps unit is stationed overseas so I don't get to see him for now. Not to sure what I want to do now that I'm finished school. Although, working at the Insurance Agency is nice, pays rent, and I have benefits.

Current news....I'm trying to buy a condo. I guess if I had gone the medicine or law route, getting the financing together would have been much easier...but I'm happy. Could be happier if my fiance' was home, but I only have to wait a few more months *crosses fingers* hopefully.

And of course, I love my critters...all 8 of them.
