I first remember wanting to be a teacher. Then I changed my mind and wanted to be a doctor. Then I fine tuned it to psychiatrist. I got admitted to a combined bachelor's/medical school accelerated program but before I accepted it, I decided that I didn't think I could be a good psychiatrist AND a good mother (cuz I always wanted to be a mom) so I decided on Occupational Therapy. I worked as an OT for 13 years, in the field of mental health. Since OT involves teaching life skills and I was doing it on psychiatric units, I ended up combining all of the careers I had once wanted into one. At 35, I changed careers to IT. If I could do it all over again, I'd be either a teacher or an Optometrist. But, I like what I do now. I haven't decided yet what my next career will be...
