Are you doing (career) what you always thought you would? If not why not?

From 8th grade through Sophomore year of college I was sure I would be a genetic engineer, but then discovered that theoretical genetics is fun and practical genetics is 8-12 hours a day staring through a microscope, plus I had an incident that made me realize how much I wanted to help kids suceed at about the same time.

not even close.
my life has been a series of misadventures and glorious mistakes. one pratfall led into another and yet another. great stimulation. downside is that i have appeared to have lived myself into a corner, a place where further avenues have been severely restricted...
so...now i take my extraordinary intellect and apply it toward finding a loophole, any loophole. perhaps i can cheat death. this seems to be the insurmountable goal, without even more time i will languish and become wormfood. how trite....

to answer, i have the satisfaction of seeing my life's work bear fruit, everything now is anti-climatic
i sleep well, still have wanderlust, always wonder where i will end up, where is my deathbed?

Sun357:

when I was younger I had big dreams of doing something wonderful, being someone who people looked up to. making good money.. then life kicked in and I did something different... but I am still doing something wonderful and a few people such as my kids look up to me. I don't make squat but that's ok too.. the answer is no I am not doing what I thought but I am doing what I do and I can handle that.. I think what your doing is very nobel and must be very rewarding..

~Behind<3BlueEyes:

Absolutely not. Did not go to college. Stayed home and "partied" my way through the 70's. Got a job where my mom worked as a receptionist/secretary. Stayed there too long. Got comfortable. Then the company moved out of NY in the early 80's. Job hopped for years, could not find anything I liked. Then got comfortable again with a nice small,friendly,family owned company and stayed put for 17years. Then came the recession in the early 90s. then I was in an accident and could not go back to work for a couple of years, then came 9/11. No jobs at all! Then I got this one only because of my experience at the last one. And now that I would like to leave, there is another recession. No jobs, again. Oh well, at least I am working.
