I second that catnapper! I had a lot of changes in ideas of what I wanted to do, even when I started college. I contemplated changing majors and experimented with different classes and so on. I actually ended up doing something that I never planned on, but I do enjoy it, because it fits my lifestyle best.

My Mom switched careers in her 40s to something she never thought she'd do too. It all just depends on what your life is like at the time, and what happens to fit your lifestyle. Sometimes something can seem really fun looking from the outside, but turn out to be really stressful or not what it seemed when you get into it.

Julie, I remember being constantly told I should be a vet too because I loved animals. For some reason that is the first profession that comes to a lot of people's minds that involves animals, but there are sure a lot more out there. I knew I was way too sensitive to take that road, I could not deal with seeing and dealing with all a vet has to deal with.
