hell yeah. I should have been a doctor but I thought it was so hard. Sometimes I feel I know more than doctors and I just might. LOL! Not really but you get my point. I wish I was younger because I would go back to Med School

This is such a great thread!  The job I loved to hate was working pharmacy and getting paid decently.  My hours were awful and I missed everything important because I couldn't 'dictate' my hours and had to work when scheduled.  I would constantly skip lunches and breaks for a few days so I could attend school performances or awards ceremonies.   Otherwise going under on hours would land me in hot water.  The actual work, I loved!  Working with patients and the regular bits of processing prescriptions were just great and honestly I wish I could get that back under slightly better terms.

I was able to fall back onto my other skills with art.  Pay is worse then slave wages (most of the time) but I'm on freelance and brokered sales so if I started pushing myself and not sleeping then I'd be doing more turnover.  I'm home for my kids and I never miss anything now so that in itself is amazing for me.  I have a dream coming true with a side project my husband and a friend of ours are working on that all my 3d knowledge pays off beyond belief so I guess we're oddly fortunate.  If I was back on my old crazy hours that wouldn't be possible....and I'd be too stressed for my creative side to really be working.

Some days I do, some days I don't. I do marketing and graphic/multimedia design, which in some ways is like living the dream, being able to make decent living off my art skillz. Other days I feel like I'm wasting my brain or should be making much more money, and wish I went to med school, or was an engineer, or whatever. But chances are I'll stick with this - I'm good at what I do and will soon be pursuing a masters in my field. I just don't think I have the patience to switch careers and start at an entry level position again.

now i dont feel so bad i currently am overseas doing something very similar to what a personal assistant or secretary does i hate the office but i dont have any idea what i want to be when i grow up so here i sit through another rotation unsure of what to do for education. but administative assistant is what were called on the out side whats the pay like for that job or progression rate ?

I'm going to one of the best schools in the world for Computer Animation (Pixar style). I'm living the dream :)

Shoulda been a baller

Edit-Sorry, I sould have addressed to this to azaleasleeping-sorry

What about music therapy? It is a great way to help people and satisfy your love for music.

I have worked in many fields, from medical to sales and I have hated all of them.  I am currnetly back in school fulltime working towards a degree in Ecology/evolutionary biology.  I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with it but it is a subject I love and I can't wait for a "real" career, one that I want, not that I'm doing so I can pay the bills.

I studying International Relations for a year thinking.. "ohh, im going to go into Diplomacy afterwards". Then a new law came up in Chile stating that if one has any family relations with someone currently in the diplomatic field, one is not able to enter the academy (which is my case). So then I came back to Chile (having been in studying in Geneva, Switzerland before) and decided to study English Literature... worse mistake ever. Studying English Lit. in Chile is like taking an advanced english course not nearly aproching to dream of an Oxford like education so I dropped out after the first semester. Then I went into grafic design which I did finish, yet after doing my internship at a publicity agency... and being behind the coputer all day long I decided this was not my thing.

Now I just inscribed myself into the French cullinary school to which I will begin studies this August. Lets hope this is my passion ;)
