I forgot to add that I'm in the process of switching careers. I'm in school again now. I wish I would have had an idea of what I wanted to do much earlier doh I think I needed a taste of other fields in order to see what I didn't like. Better late than never.

You have to be happy with what you do as you spend a large proportion doing it. If not, then change.

I recently went self employed and love it. I must admit it was a bit of a gamble, but you only live once so grab the chances that come along

You have a great fashion sense, based upon your pics. Maybe a career in fashion? Some people are not good putting together attractive styles or the right colors for their particular look.

I trained as a travel agent, then somehow ended up being a modern languages teacher fo rmany years ...

Have now left the rat race behind and have no career as such, just make a (basic) living doing a bit of teaching (languages/art), interpretting, translating AND painting pics and doing crafty stuff! Love the not being "pegged down" and having the choice to say "No! Today I´m resting and indulging myself!"

I strongly considered training for the travel industry, but I figured that travel is the first thing people give up when the economy is bad so I changed my mind crying

I took up the course I have now not because I want it but I was influenced by my family. When I started working, I didn't like it much. But when I experienced the real dedication for the profession I have chosen, I realized it is my calling.
