In the back of my mind, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love the creativity and supplies. Rewarding, I'm sure...but crazy low pay for the hours. Kids are tough to deal with for hours 5 days a week. Not for me :p

I can think of a number of things I believe I would like doing, yet I'm not sure what I want to do as a career. I'm already a career changer! I really liked the job I had prior to beginning my first nursing job and often wonder what my real motivation was to change although I enrolled in nursing school with the express purpose of becoming a nurse practitioner, and I started my third and final year of a NP program in August!

I would like to take a cruise on a naval destroyer as a deck officer in the cold waters of the Earth, go on a couple of space missions with NASA, fly Apache Longbow helicopters over Afghanistan hunting down America's enemies, serve warrants with the U.S. Marshal Service fugitive task force delivering genuine American bad guys to court; write a daily, syndicated column for a print newspaper, blog my thoughts and researched topics on a revenue-generating website, be a small business owner, obtain a legal education (JD), study for a MA in history; read the Bible, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, National Geographic, and some lesser known history magazines everyday, finish a list I have of over 100 great books I want to read; take Krav Maga lessons a couple of times a week, go running every night, lift weights three times per week; grow a considerable subsistence garden, invest in adding solar energy to my home, drill for my own well; tour America, live for a month at Disney World, have dinner at an Independent White House; learn to gunsmith, perform routine maintenance on automobiles, and enhance my limited carpentry abilities; see my old dad alive again with my sweet mother who misses him dearly, marry my loving fiance in a place and setting of her childhood fantasy choosing, and live a life replete with honor, integrity, cause, and faith to our Lord while knowing I shall leave this world a better place.

What exactly I want to do for a career......I've never decided.

A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher, or maybe like a, uh, um... a chapeau shop or something. You know, like, "Would you... what size do you wear, sir?" And then you answer me.
