If you could go back to school and change your career path, would you?
What would you want to do?
I decided to take a career change lately after realizing I am more gifted as a computer programmer than a Veterinarian. I have since started attending classes in a local university to study computer science as my second career, I still work as a Vet but I am more into computer programming. I bet this is my most favorite pass time as well as work of choice. In a few years time I intend to be a hardcore coder for Vet related applications. In my experience its possible to go back to school and change your career path. I am already doing it. I wish you success.
I'm completely happy with the choices I made. Since I was 8 I knew I wanted to be a writer and after having babies I realised I wanted to be involved with birth as well. So I've recently finished a Journalism course and I'm doing a Doula course next year.
No, probably not. I've met too many amazing people on my way to getting where I am right now.
I could have studied much harder at school to get better grades - I ended up doing it in my mid 20's, but in-between I did a lot of traveling which I loved. Sometimes I wish I had better grades and followed a different path, but that's probably more to do with thinking about a change of direction now - I think!

Do you believe you can work AND love what you do every day?Are you doing what you love to do or is work a dreaded task? If it is a dreaded task, why do you continue to do it? Is it possible to work and love what you do? Is fulfilling work only a reality for a select percentage of the population?

If you could choose any career path what would your dream job be?Education, experience and income are not a consideration. What career have you always dreamed of that you may not be qualified for?

I believe that the best time to plan for a career is from the sophomore period in high school and at the latest, junior year in high school. By the time, one enters college, a career path should be decided on. Do you agree with this premise? Why? Why not?
