...Would you still choose the same career path?

If I could do it all again, I'd go into a field where I don't have to sit on my ass all day. Like women's pro wrestling or something.

Writing involves way too much sitting.

8/4/2009 9:38:35 PM

I think I'm a bit too young to reflect on that right now.

I'll get back to you when I'm on my deathbed.

8/4/2009 9:39:22 PM

[no]

8/4/2009 9:39:33 PM

probably

I have a pretty cushy job now
but my levels of stress and anxiety have gone through the roof

luckily, I will have died from a stress induced heart attack by the time I fully realize the damage I'm doing to myself

8/4/2009 9:39:41 PM

i just want to dance.

8/4/2009 9:39:53 PM

I'll get back to you when I retire.

8/4/2009 9:40:49 PM

What kind of writer?

Anyways, yeah, I'd do the same thing pretty much and same with my education path...

8/4/2009 9:42:56 PM

woulda came into ncsu for business and graduated in 3 years knowing what i know now

8/4/2009 9:43:58 PM

Look kids, we're all going to die. No time like the present to start regretting the past.

And I am a former journalist. Currently an ad copywriter. Also working on a stupid chick lit novel about a woman who fakes being preggers so she can go on maternity leave.

Basically, I sit on my ass all day.

^isn't that a lindsay lohan abc family made for tv movie?

you don't have to fucking do it all over again, just change your career

it's not like you're 70 years old

8/4/2009 9:45:25 PM

there are things i would do different but as far as career, i am doing the job i do now (zookeeper) because i always wanted to work with animals. however, i know this isnt what i am going to do forever because i can barely afford to feed myself. but at least i did it

8/4/2009 9:46:06 PM

people say they wouldn't change a thing
even if they could
oh, but i woooooouuuuuuld

Platitudes ftw.

Just about everybody on this forum is too damn young to look back and actually know whether they're going to get a meaningful existence out of their career path or not.

I understand that you don't like your job that much, but you've got options for other jobs out there and can change what you do for a living.

8/4/2009 9:49:41 PM

I have already changed my career, ass. But it's kind of hard to become a female pro wrestler when you're 26 and 5'7"!!!

8/4/2009 9:49:52 PM

and like lower than 130lbs

8/4/2009 9:50:24 PM

Amen, sistah!

Oh, so I make a point and you call me an ass? Real classy, lady.

8/4/2009 9:52:50 PM

^^you didn't answer my question about the lindsay lohan made for tv movie and its resemblance to your book

[Edited on August 4, 2009 at 9:53 PM. Reason : fdas]

8/4/2009 9:53:05 PM

Dude, lohan is a genius. Didn't you see Mean Girls?

And Mindstorm, why would you expect class from chit chat?

8/4/2009 9:56:38 PM

address the issue at hand

8/4/2009 9:56:59 PM

two years ago, I'd have said that if i could do it all over again, i'd have majored in finance and gone on to work for some investment bank.

Unless I ended up at GS, probably would not have ended well.

So, at this point in time, i'd still choose the same career path.

8/4/2009 9:58:12 PM

Ok, noose, I did not see the LiLo movie, so I did not intentionally rip it off. I do, however, love all things Lohan. Even that reality show Livin' la Vida Lohan.

Because more and more these days I just try to act like a human and treat people like people on here.

Lends to me being fair and not just trolling the dickballs out of people. I just didn't agree with the basic premise of this thread because I feel it's pretty fair to say that most people on this forum are still only just getting a taste of what their future has in store.

8/4/2009 10:00:45 PM

i don't think they've shown it yet. i saw an advertisement for it.

i think you need to find a new idea. sounds like this one will be all [old] by the time you finish.

8/4/2009 10:01:37 PM

I actually love my job. But some days my butt hurts from sitting too long.

Better get used to it. I'm doing law school at night.

8/4/2009 10:03:04 PM

I am so glad my current job is NOT my career and I will be escaping from it next summer baring any acts of god (knock on wood).

8/4/2009 10:03:56 PM

i got to sit in a dr's office all day because my coworker got bit by a bear!

8/4/2009 10:04:11 PM

yes, I would have chosen the same career path

I just would have chosen a different major so I could have started in said career about 3 years earlier

8/4/2009 10:05:10 PM

What kind of bear? That's kinda badass!

8/4/2009 10:05:12 PM

Right now no. b.c I did my BA and my MA in the same field and its greatly limited me to what I can do. I chose my passion over security and now am paying for it.

8/4/2009 10:05:20 PM

a blaXor bear...
she was training it and i guess it didnt want to be trained
it was about as good as when i went to the dr when my thumb was dislocated by a goat...

8/4/2009 10:16:16 PM

i've been doing the same thing i've been doing since i was born

8/4/2009 10:17:28 PM
