Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Let's see...

I wanted to be several things, but I always seemed to change when I realized it wasn't right for me, that or I realized it was too hard or it wasn't an ideal career for me.
I wanted to be a: lawyer, artist, librarian- I honesty wouldn't mind being a librarian because I love reading and it's a quiet job.

PA (physician assistant), pharmacist- I originally went to college for that but I hated all the chemistry and math that went with it. I still work in Healthcare so I don't regret my degree at all, but yeah... lol. I was so indecisive with my choices growing up.

Kaneki05 · Accepted Answer

Nothing. I never wanted to do anything that takes work. i was a lazy kid and still am. But i did like studying psychology but that's more my own interest and now it's the same with a lot of science mainly on matter and astronomy. And i like writing so maybe just a writer would be cool.

Well my mother was the one that reame to always have choices and when I made the wrong ones didn't scold or hit me she would talk to me about how my choices affected others and then allowed me to let my conscience be my worst enemy and that was punishment enough so I am who I am and thats all I ever dreamed of
