I have recently been toying with changing careers, and honestly, I think that I have come to an all important decision: I don’t think that I am ever going to figure out “what I want to be when I grow up”; and honestly, I am okay with that. All I want to do is something that pays pretty well (i.e. NOT less than I make now), is decently entertaining and not utterly boring, and doesn’t stress me out. I know that I will probably have to go back to school for this, but I say, “bring it on!”. I loved grad school, so I totally think that I could go there again… now all I need to do is worry about that pesky living expenses thing; that always seems to get in the way during grad school! If I could only win the lottery!
Also, I was going to get my “new” tattoo this afternoon, and it will have to be postponed until next Monday; James and I were invited to the lake this weekend, and I am not going to be the only one that can’t get in the water. So that is a bummer, and a good thing, all rolled into one. Categorize that one Martha!

I liked it, but it was a bit weird. Not what I was expecting at all. However, I read a review that said it was like watching the pilot, and then the first episode of a show, and I couldn't agree more. After it was over, I wanted to see where it would go next (in the third episode), but instead, it was over.

Okay, I was not expecting this movie to be this great! I was laughing out loud, and had a blast watching it. The animation is beautiful, and the humor in the story is great. What a fun movie!

While it was a good, campy movie, it was almost too over the top. Also, HOW did Pierce Brosnan get this role? He CANNOT sing!! My favorite number from the movie was Lay All Your Love On Me; it was positively fantastic!

I loved it. Heath Ledger was absolutely terrifying as the Joker; it was like watching someone truly crazy just be crazy. The only part I didn't like was how they portrayed Two Face. Other than that, another great Batman movie. Glad they reinvigorated the series.

Pure adrenaline and special effects goodness. The story is good, but I would like to have seen it end a little differently. James McAvoy's character is very, very likable too.

Why don’t you go back to school and become a low paid teacher and love what you do - make a differnece in a young persons life!!
OK - now that we’ve had a good laugh -what do you think you might want to do?? None of us really know what we are going to be when we grow up…that’s why we try many different things. Being a Moody also brings that added attraction of never wanting to settle for normal - wanting to make a mark in life.
Yes, winning the lottery would help and I will be winning the lottery soon by the way - so I will share with you and James. Why worry about student loans — get them and live off of them. That’s what our doctors do. They leave school with 100,000-200,000 in loans - never pay them back and then they are washed after 5-10 years. By then the money is rolling in and life is good.
Why don’t you run for elected office?? You are good at public speaking. Work your way up to Gov. of the great state of Ga. Free house and they pay you. Sure would cut down on the miles you put on that new car since they drive you around for free. You could go into modeling - I know you are good enough for that and can do that on the side.
Let’s face it - a job is only a JOB and it is filled with stress, low pay and tons of boring moments. I say just resign today and sit out on the street corner and beg - I understand that is a pretty good living…I think that is what I’m going to do next year. I’m tired of teaching.
Let me know if you figure out what you want to be when you grow up….Maybe I’ll get some ideas!
I would love to be a life time student. Seriously, I would love to go back to college, hmmm, now maybe grad school isn’t sounding like such a bad idea.
I think my biggest problem is not knowing what I want to do when I grow up, it is rather not wanting to grow up at all. Peter Pan syndrom if you will, but not in that creey I touch small children Michael Jackson type way.
..and doesn’t stress me out.
Good luck with that.
I don’t think anyone ever really has things 100% figured out. And if they say they do, I don’t trust them, because they’re lying (whether they know it or not).
I have been struggling with this exact thing. I was one of those guys who had asolutely NO idea what I wanted to do. I took a test in high school that pointed to a career in the behavioral sciences. So I majored in psychology but found I didn’t want to be a clinical psychologist. I lost interest, started working and ended up a graphic designer. Recently I’ve been exploring to find out what I really want to do. Like you, I too don’t want to/can’t make less than I do now. I’ve taken some tests which still point to clinical psychologist and some other things so I’m going to explore and maybe go back to school too. Let me know if you come up with any clever funding ideas!
