Career choices?

Question

I went to school to be a teacher, made it to student teaching (had a not so great experience that made me rethink my decision), but ended up having to withdraw due to an unforeseen medical problem with my daughter.  I have been taking care of her ever since and continued being a stay at home mom.  Now I have been trying to figure out what kind of job I'd really want to do when my kids are older, but I have no clue.  I had a goal for 5-6 years to be a teacher and discovered I didn't like how much the field of education had changed.  The good thing is I am three classes away from receiving my bachelors degree, I just won't be a certified teacher.  How did you all go about finding a career interest?

Answer

I majored in education and only taught for eight months. I absolutely hated it. Now I'm an insurance agent and I really love it! Never know what opportunities will come your way but the degree definitely helps!

Answer

I was born for mine. I denied it for years because I didn't wanna be predictable, but now that I've been to a few college classes, I realize that I just wouldn't be as happy in another career.

My teacher even told me that she was astonished with my potential and that if I could just be more daring, I could really be great. As she said "one of the best"

My career choice is Art. More specifically, creating mangas.

When you know, you just know :P good luck with yours!

Answer

I took psychology my junior year of high school and it came naturally for me so senior year I decided to take AP psych bc it would look good in my transcripts. I had no intention of really caring about the class, I honestly wanted the easy A in a college credit class. It ended up being my favorite class and I decided to learn more about psychology kinda as a hobby. I took a couple more classes and realize that I loved it and wanted to do that for my career. I now have my undergrad finished and am in grad school to get my doctorate. I love what I do and am excited everyday for my future career.

Answer

Oddly enough, I thought I liked science until I took a science course. Out of all the uncertainty of what I would do next, I realized what my passion was, writing. A passion that I have been talented at since early childhood.

Answer

I was a business major my freshman year.  Took some classes in high school and loved it. So I figured that's what I wanted to do. I was taking, intro to socialogy and intro to psych.. intro to business management.  My English class and a religion class. First day of business I was ready, bought my books and thought this is the first day of the rest of my career.  I sat down for 5 minutes listened to the professor and walked out. It took me 5 minutes of my first class to realize that, doing that for the rest of my life would make me miserable. I went to my advisor dropped the class and sold my book back. My school had a career counselor and she asked me a few questions.  Suggested that next semester I sign up for intro to social work. I did, and it was the best decision of my life. Love the field, the broadness of what you could do with it.
