But I can relate to being asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?". For me this was (in order): student, father, massage therapist, musician, actor, playwright,orphanage parent, occupational therapist, and doctor. I remember being asked first by teachers, then parents, friends, and finally, myself. Every time I was asked I had a different answer, but one day after I decided to take a break from college work and lay on the ground, looking up at the stars, I noticed something. I saw that the Earth moved slowly, the stars changed but so little at a time you would not notice it unless all you did was look at them. I realized that the only thing I REALLY wanted was to just live, nothing more, just be one with life and nature and relish in the precious moments of both. <br /> <br />So I want to return a question. "What is a career?" <br /><br />To me a career is nothing more then a lifelong ambition to achieve what you really want in life. For some this may be getting a permanent job, owning a business, or fighting the fast pace lifestyle and surviving. For others it might be simple like raising children and passing on a small legacy. Yet furthermore it could be just living life and dying happy. I may not know a lot about life but what I have seen is a lot of people sacrifice happiness for security, when humans are most secure when they are happy.

While I did love being a college instructor, the job I loved (and lost) was in marketing at a local university. :)Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659946702584728654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16417107.post-70979982528234564502011-08-27T15:59:00.986-04:002011-08-27T15:59:00.986-04:00Nice!
