I DIDN'T want to be a teacher, although now I think I do. So off to law school I went. I had to move back to ME to get a job, and I really never liked what I did all that much (real estate). Then I had kids.....and now a blog. So, in another 5,000 years when I can go to work or something maybe I'll figure it out. :)Kristin....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04577486067704642675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-30016210863975371872008-08-13T07:41:00.000-05:002008-08-13T07:41:00.000-05:00here'e my two cents. i wanted to be an english maj...here'e my two cents. i wanted to be an english major since high school. i flirted with the idea of journalism briefly but decided i couldn't be up in people's faces during tragedy, so i skipped that. in college i decided i wanted to be a professor - what could be better than getting paid to read? - but i wanted to make sure. so i looked for a job after graduation, went home b/c where else was i going to go? waitressed while i was looking and finally 6 months after grad landed a job with the local arts council as the receptionist/development coordinator (i licked fundraising envelopes). it was way boring. so meanwhile i had started looking into grad programs and decided to apply to ones for creative writing. finally got accepted into one, thinking i would go on and get my phd. half way into the program i hated it, thought most of my classmates were pretentious and couldn't fathom doing 5 more years of school.<BR/><BR/>so, feb before i grad with my mfa, started looking for a job either writing (pr/communications, whatever) or doing non profit work ala my earlier exp. had some odd jobs in the meantime and finally, again in nov, landed a real job at a bridal magazine.<BR/><BR/>i guess i was never much of a partier, goof off kind of girl. go capricorn!broad mindedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134715899154851051noreply@blogger.com
