Well, staying home to take care of the kids was never my first plan, but now that they are here, I hope the day never comes that I have to leave them to their own devices. That said, life moves on and I intend to write a novel that I actually publish in the coming years. Writing is really the only thing that has ever held me.

As a back up plan, however, if needed, I will teach. It was

I didn't really "decide" I sort of just fell into what I do and that just so happens to be HR! HAHA how coincidental!? I like my job though...not my dream job but it helps to pay the bills. I want to hopefully one day go into women's health! I've taken a huge interest in fertility in the last couple of years.

I am a SAHM. I went to school to be an Occupational Therapist, but got pregnant right away after and didn't go back.

My real love though is painting, so I'm hoping to do something with that when my littlest is in school full days:)

I never thought I'd be a SAHM, but here I am! When my DH and I decided to start a family, being a SAHM suddenly became very appealing.

I chose my pre-mom career when I was finishing high school. I have no interest in ever returning to that; I'd love to do something completely different, but we'll see.

Oh and why dont you start event planning on the side. AS a "fun" gig while you figure it out.

My mom was a wedding coordinator for 25 years and LOVED it, yeah she got the bridezillas but more often than not it was really fun

2009-06-19T14:40:45.395-04:00

I still have NO IDEA what I want to be when I grow up.

and I will be 32 this year.

I have done it all too, HR (which I did not like either) waitress (which I do right now until I find a big girl jjob) I have worked for 3 state agencies.

I just dont know.... My plans are to win the lottery and then volunteer my time to whatever cause needs me!

I wanted to be a child care director owning my own downtown center but all of that changed when I met J and realized my life would be based around the military.. Im 24 and still deciding on what it is I want to truly do. No worries :)

I have a business management degree and since being in new jersey these last few years i have had several jobs in that area and you know what..i hated all of them! I am still trying to figure out what i want to be! I would love to go back to school ...basically if i could get paid ot go to school that would be perfect! But i have no idea what i would go back for. I recently started substitute

I'm so with you.

I'm getting ready to start my senior year of college and will be graduating with a PR degree. I have No. Idea. what to do with it.

2009-06-18T14:14:07.997-04:00

When I was a preteen, I had this crazy notion that I wanted to be a marine biologist. Well I wanted to all thru high school too. Went to college then had kids and continued my education. had more kids and realized my calling was being a SAHM. I love raising my kids. I wouldnt want it any other way. Once they start school themselves, I will revisit the idea of having a career. Until then, I&

I love your new blog layout!

The job just kinda fell in my lap, and I've stuck with it!

2009-06-18T10:36:45.441-04:00

When I was young about 5-8, I wanted to be a horse...I think I might have achieved at least the back part ;). Then I wanted to be a professional partier in my teen years. I also did pretty well at that for a while. Then the time came to get a real job or go to college. I opted for college, mainly because I could still party. Turns out, I just became a professional student. Went to several

2009-06-18T09:36:04.042-04:00

I love this post - it's so true! I started college as a music major, switched to political science, applied to a law program, got accepted, left college after year one. When I went back several years later I chose business as my degree because I was working in management at the time. Never finished that either - time and money worked against me! Right now, I'm working as an "office

2009-06-18T09:29:03.142-04:00

My degree collection sounds kinda like yours. I have a BA in Sociology and Creative Writing. I wanted to teach creative writing on the high school level at first then decided against it. My specialization is poetry, so someday I hoped to be published somewhere. I went on to get my master's in Personal Financial Planning and wanted to do Financial Counseling. But since all army posts are in

2009-06-18T09:16:51.546-04:00

When I was in college I got worked towards and ended up getting my degree in Criminal Justice. Once I finished college I ended up working in a field that I never thought I would. I didn't enjoy it that much and decided to get out. I finally ended up in the CJ field when I got a federal gov. job. I really enjoy it. I love going to work. Now do I hate the people I have to deal with...yes for

2009-06-18T08:50:02.214-04:00

I don't really know what I want to do. Its always been a toss up between nursing and teaching, but there are so many cons to each of them, that I can never make a concrete decision.
Being a SAHM is something I thought about, sure, but it definitely wasn't something I wanted for when I was 23 and it definitely wasn't because there aren't any jobs available for someone without

2009-06-18T08:30:26.978-04:00

:) Yea for being a writer! I'm a writer! I'm the assistant editor of a local magazine and I'm about to quit, because I'm getting married, and I'm going to freelance. I'm scared about freelancing and just how hard I'm guessing it's going to be, but I know I'll enjoy it. I say, follow your dream! (Just don't steal jobs away from me!)

2009-06-18T08:17:29.500-04:00

Currently, I am not in a profession. I have a BA in Art History, but no masters. Makes it a bit tough to get a job. I'm hoping that at our next duty station I will be close enough to a school that will let me continue my education.

For the time being, I became a substitute teacher. Trust me, not a dream job.

Hmm, well I don't have a "profession"...

2009-06-18T07:43:48.392-04:00

Hmm, well I don't have a "profession" just yet, as I'm still in school, but I have recently changed my mind about what my profession will be after I graduate. I'm currently a communication arts/theatre major (we're similar!) but there isn't really a whole lot in that field that interests me anymore. But I'll get my BA in Dec, so I'm finishing it just for the

2009-06-18T03:36:14.426-04:00

I never thought I would be a SAHM. I was planning on being an event coordinator for fashion houses/major department stores, but oh how things changed!! but now I wouldn't have it any other way!

2009-06-18T02:49:33.507-04:00

Thanks for the vote of confidence and bringing a smile to my face. I'm having a pity party day, so that helped. :)

I have NO idea what I want to be when I grow up, beyond what happens with my interview, beyond what happens by next year. I think it's awesome that you want to do event planning, I would love to be able to do that. I'm much less organized at home than at work

2009-06-18T01:42:24.509-04:00

Hmmmm, I never really just sat down one day and thought about what I was going to be. Al I knew for sure is that whatever I was doing, I was going to be happy. That is more important to me then pursuing a career that may or may not get me somewhere. HOWEVER, in the recent months I've been doing a lot of thinking about what exactly would make me happy and I have found that going back to school

2009-06-17T23:32:29.112-04:00

I am a chemist, but I am with you. Event planning(besides being a SAHM) would definitely be my dream job if money was no object. I spent four years in college planning everything from Homecoming week to College wide volunteer oppurtunities and I loved it.
