Ever have doubts about the career path you chose?

Question

Ever think you made a mistake, and if so did you switch career paths because of it?

Answer 1

actually i had a really weird "spiritual journey last night" I know your going to think im nuts lol. I've always wanted to be a lawer and am studing pre law. I ate a bunch of majic mushrooms last night and now realize what my real passion is. I want to be a zoo keeper. Ive always been very interested in animals and have done a ton of volunteer work with them. Ive been a vegitaren for about 10 years now. Its amazing how much happier i think i will be working with animals then cramped up in an office. I'm ready to switch career paths, thank you mushrooms! lol im not nuts i swear.l

Answer 2

Absolutely...I'm in broadcasting and it's an ever-changing field. Sometimes I worry that maybe three years from now a computer will be doing most broadcasting jobs and then I'll be out on my butt probably working for McDonalds.

I haven't switched careers yet since my degree is in broadcasting, but I might go back to school and try something else or just look for a more stable career path without having to return to college again.

Answer 3

I love dogs, i sometimes find their company a lot better then friends, families etc. I am only 18 at the moment but i would defiantly think about producing good herding dogs - Border Collies. I live on a farm with my parents and currently i own one BC - Skye and my parents have two. I chose BC's because they are one of the most intelligent dog breeds, and keep me fit with all the exercise they need. They can also be quite challenging at times which i like, but they are usually hard working and co-operative. I would simply buy good quality pups from a good working blood line, train them well to herd and compete in herding trails. IF my dogs had won several titles then and only then i *might* consider breeding them if i had a healthy, champion dog and bltch. I'd have all the necessary health checks done and make sure i can do it financially. That is a might though and i'm talking 20-25 years! Then with the litters i would sell some at 10-12 weeks fully vacc, keep one or two to train up to be herding dogs which i would then sell to other farmers when ready around 18months of age, possibly keeping one or both of them for myself depending on if they are needed on our farm. That is my plan at the moment :) Whether i'll stick to it.. i'm not sure yet :)

Answer 4

Yes, but in the long run it turned out for the best. I went to school and $8,000.oo later, got a job, only to get seriously injured and had to quit. Years later, I'm doing almost the same thing, for almost the same money. But, a lot more satisfaction. I didn't need that much schooling for what I do now. Kinda ticks me off, really.

Answer 5

At times I do

Answer 6

I wouldn't say career path, but college major, yes. And yes I am changing it lol. Which totally sucks.

Answer 7

All the time. Teaching is not my call and it's poorly paid. I should have been a successful artist if only I'd tried harder. But I can do a lot of things pretty well and teaching is one of them, I have no complaints. :)

Answer 8

Every day. I'm looking to switch, but haven't found the right next thing yet.

Answer 9

Doubts? No. Regrets? Yes. Education: There is no substitute.
