When I was a kid, any time I was asked that question I
picked something different – teacher, nurse, actor, singer, veterinarian,
mother - all seemed entirely plausible at the time. I was footloose and fancy
free, and had absolutely no idea of what I actually wanted to be when I grew
up. I thought eventually it would come to me. A light bulb over my head moment.
But it never did.
I struggled in university, flunking out of my Education
courses (I wanted to be a teacher, right?) and barely passing my Communications
courses (Marketing sounds cool, right?), so I took some time off. I started
working at a bank and my career snowballed from there, dabbling in customer
service, fraud investigations, compliance, and eventually demoting myself to executive
assistant.
Now, here I am at 35 years old, and I still do not know what
I want to be when I grow up.
I hope I figure it out soon, because I will be out of a job in another 2 weeks. *shrugs shoulders*
