As I am currently in a "phase of transition", in which I am re-evaluating all my career decisions from the past for future "change of course", it made me wonder: am I the only one who ended up being qualified in something he hates?
So I'd like to ask you:
What did you want to become when you were a kid?
What did you want to become when you were 16-17 yo
What did you end up learning for/studying
What is your current age, and what did you become?
I dreamt of a live of adventure as a kid, thinking that being an pilot was the coolest thing ever, getting to fly those huge planes and being served coffee by stewardesses (I was 5 yo, so my dreams didn't go much further than coffee, okay?).
Then, it turned out I couldn't be a pilot due to eyesight, so I figured I'd be an army officer, but alas, I was one of the 80% being turned down. I was going to be accepted as a sergeant, but I didn't like that, because the sarge in Tour of Duty had a hell of a life.
So I ended up studying something, not knowing what I wanted to be. And basically, that has been my career: not knowing what I want
I did discover that Planning and Control, as well as Bookkeeping *suck* !!!! So that's where I am now (at 35).
Your turn
