What would you have chosen as a different path for your life?
So I'm at work, bored out of my mind, and just thinking about what I would have done if I would have a "do-over". Go to a different college? Have a different major? Try to get different jobs in a different city?
I always thought about going to med school before college, and while my grades were good enough, I'll admit that I'm too damn lazy. I like DC enough, but my job (ahem, excuse me, my career path) is KILLIN' ME. Money is decent but things sure are boring and I don't feel like what I do makes much of a difference. But, it's not like my liberal arts degree and MA are worth much anymore (at least here), and I obviously can't get into a specialized field unless I simply quit, re-enroll in college, and spend money that I don't have.
I think I would have made a great archaeologist. No joke. Or a vet. I could see myself getting into those fields if I had a do-over.
What about yourselves? What do you WANT to be doing? You may be doing one job now, but looking back with 20/20 hindsight, what would you have done?
