So this is basically meant to be a discussion of career or vocation. If you are already to a point in your life that you have a career then share that, and if you are not to that point then please share what you think you will do with your life. In either case please share a little bit about why you chose your career or potential career.
Personally I'm still a little unsure of what to do with my life. I'm still in college so I have a little time left to decide. I had a professor speak about choosing a career, and I learned two pretty interesting things. First off in choosing a career you should have the aptitude to do it and an interest in doing it. Seems like common sense, but for instance it's probably not too rare for an undergraduate aspiring to be a doctor to switch majors after struggling in organic chemistry. The second thing I found interesting is that people nowadays have many jobs throughout their lives. So the idea of choosing a single career might be a little antiquated now since a person might hold several quite different jobs throughout their career. For instance my sister in eight years since graduating college has worked as an accountant, a lawyer (after going back to school), then back to accounting but in her own practice, and now is a professor at a university.
