    I started college majoring in Chemical engineering. After two years, and a co-op job in that field, I decided that wasn't what I wanted to do. Instead, I graduated with a BS in Biochemistry. I worked in R&D for 5 years after I graduated, before moving to an analyticallab, where I was reviewing work done by chemists to be sure it met regulatory requirements. I am now working in a technical sales position, where I advise our clients what chemistry work they need to do to get clearance from the FDA or other notified bodeis for their medical devices (to prove they are safe).

    I graduated with a B.A. in Criminal Justice, and I am working in a related field now. Way back when I went to school they didn't have such a profession as a Paralegal, but if they did that is what I would have done.

    I graduated with my BS in 2003 majoring in Veterinary Sciences. I thought I wanted to go to vet school but decided to get my Master's first. I finished that last August and am now working on my PhD. I do research on tick-borne illnesses and could not imagine doing anything else.

    I'm not sure what I'm going to take yet, probably just a couple grooming and dog training courses/programs though. I don't think those are even offered in colleges, but I'm not sure, I haven't really looked into anything as of yet. I used to want to be a vet, up until this past year or so...now it just doesn't interest me at all simply because I don't think I could handle surgeries well and I want a job that only involves dogs.

    I'm majoring in Education next fall at Transylvania. I'll spend 4 years there, get my BA, and then go to Seminary. I aspire to be a youth minister, but I'm majoring in Education because teaching would be my next choice - in case my role as a youth minister doesn't pay the bills, I can also teach during the day.

    I went to nursing school, made it through all the coursework with flying colors, got to my first clinical and almost threw up on my patient! I learned the hard way that I don't have the stomach to be a nurse, but I love trauma. My next move? What else, a paramedic, right? Trauma, sure! The first week, we were learning to intibate people. I found out that people throw up on you a lot, I checked out the next day. I then went to beauty school as I love to do hair and nails. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the whole beauty school sweat shop, but it's basically cheap labor. The students don't get paid. Your tips are your income. I had a lady come in, wanted a full set of nails, pedicure, hair cut, color and perm. I worked on her ALL DAY! She was my only client for the day. She tipped me $.50!

    My next move is to go to culinary school to become a pastry chef. I've always loved to back. I want to open my own bakery some day. It'll be doggie friendly, too!

    I started college last october to finish my degree in bussiness. Hopefully I will graduate in 2009. I found a great progarm for working adults. It allows me to work full time and attend classes one night a week. And everyone is a older college student like myself.

    I am going to school for Veterinary Medicine in the fall. I will be attending either LSUS/LSUBR or Texas A&M University. I would love to specialize in something but EVERYTHING interests me so I probably won't. If I HAD to pick one I would probably choose something involving the spine or diseases.

    I have a BS in Animal Science (Pre-vet specialty), but I haven't really done much with it since college. I've completed a certificate program in clinical trail management and design which is what I'm doing now.
