What would you have chosen as a different path for your life?

So "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was wrong? lol. Is there really a world in the center aside from the extremely hot solid rock? lol

I actually think that sounds really interesting! Planets/space/etc all that interests me soo much, but i'm not a fan of a lot of the science i'd need to know beforehand (physics especially lol)

I know that being in a job that I don't like "destroys my psyche", and I am always looking for something else. But I guess a paycheck is what keeps me here. I just put a smile on my face and deal with it, waiting until I get home to enjoy my time there.

lol, ok that makes me feel a little better. I REEEEALLY enjoy learning languages, and I wish i had realized that sooner. My alma mater had several language classes but nothing major. You could only really have good languaged classes for Spanish and French (i'm bilingual already in Spanish and French is just boring to me lol). If i had found my love for languages earlier maybe I could have found a university that actually had good language classes.

Really? Awesome!! What school are you going to for Criminology? I soo need to look into that! The only school I was told (by my advisor) that had that for grad school was Michigan State but you had to have your degree in Chem.

omg, I love that movie.

Really? I didn't know you had an interest in astronomy. If you want to do it as a hobby you don't need to know any physics at all. It's just fun looking at the stars and planets and reading about them so you know what you're looking at. I guess for me, I just like knowing or having an idea of how things work and why things are the way they are, that's why I get into the physical science part of it, plus I love physics, and astronomy. I hated it in highschool and undergrad because it was boring what we were doing. I hope it remains an interest of yours, even if you don't like physics. To be quite honest with you, I think you'd be good at it if you give it a try.

I love music but I can't play any instruments and I am a so-so singer but I love running sound boards. I wish I had become a sound or recording engineer. That is what I always wanted to be. Oh well, maybe in my next life.

can i add to mine? another possiblity would have been to be a flute and/or piano major and play with an orchestra. i was a good musician back in hs. or art-i was a good artist-i did get to use that talent in interior design, but never really worked in the interior design field after college(well, except for helping friends and family, pro bono). or maybe art history-combining my love of art and history.

see folks, written down, i have so many interests it comes across as adhd.

maybe i should just go back to school and study everything that interests me, until i die-it would probably take that long.

pretty boy- do you watch top gear? they toured the ferrari factory and interviewed the test driver. who wouldn't want that job?
