When are you too old to decide what you want to be when you grow up? At what point have you "grown up"? I still think about what I want to do when I grow up. When I was younger, I changed my mind constantly about what I wanted to do. In elementary school, I wanted to be a judge. A supreme court judge. I don't know why. It sounded cool though. Then, all through junior high and high school I wanted to be a fashion designer. Then I decided I should become a doctor. I would even be all "I'm going into the Faculty of Medicine" when people asked me what I was gonna take in University. It sounded good. Yeah. Then I went to University...and found out that you couldn't just "go into" the Faculty of Medicine. So, I majored in Psychology. One of my courses was "Psychology and the Law". It was pretty fascinating, so I decided that I wanted to do Forensic Psychology. (But that decision only lasted a semester). I eventually graduated with my Bachelor of Arts (which didn't seem to mean anything except that I went to University and graduated. But hey, I graduated!). For awhile I thought I wanted to be a Pastry chef and told everyone that I was going to be a "baker". Then of course during the planning of my wedding (as well as my sister's wedding) I thought "I should really be a wedding planner!" But then changed my mind because I didn't think I was organized enough. I was however, obsessed with wedding stationary, and decided that I would rather be a wedding invitation designer. Yes! This was my career. I was going to be famous! I started with one of my cousin's friends' wedding invites and they were great, but I seriously did not make any money on that. Then I did the invitations for an 18th Birthday Party and had the customer from HELL. That quickly ended my "invitation designer" career. (Though I still love paper and invites). After watching hours and hours of HGTV, I thought that Home Staging would be a great career. And for awhile I also thought that I should become a hairstylist. (I figured I would never be out of a job because there would always be hair. But then I thought of all the standing I would have to do...) I looked into Interior Design, Web Design, and Graphic Design. (pretty much anything that ended with "design") But I still can't decide.
Hmmm... Is it too late for me to become a supreme court judge?
ate, we're in the same boat.
