Another topic to ponder on.
I was a very naive young lady in my early teens. (not what you may think)
I always dreamed of going into nursing. As it was I didn't make it into college.
Never even occured to me that I could maybe go into the forces, and do it that way.
So I fell into the trap of a job, and I would of been a workaholic if I hadn't met MrFC at the time of my life when I did. Time goes by and I don't regret a moment of it, as I don't think I could do nursing now.
But I would like to do something in that area. You never know I might just pull myself out of the job im in now and take a chance. !!!!

Would you want to do it now if you had the chance again !!
Given the chance I would have been in Art College after school, but events didn`t pan out this way, which is just as well, as I`ve since discovered that I `dry up` if I try to create art to commission! Life led me to consider counselling, then being the person I am, go the whole route to clinical psychology. I wouldn`t go back and do anything differently (except perhaps do it all a little quicker), because it`s my life to date that has led to these decisions.
I`ll make it too, if I can get my head around statistics, statistics, statistics!
If I fall down anywhere in study, that`ll be where it happens.

I reckon I'll be in my job for life, or until I win the lottery, cos I'm yoo damn lazy to do anything else . Besides I kind of just fell into my job. I'm not good at career planning

I fell into this job too. Or rather, it pounced on me while I wasn't watching. The bit that amuses me is that it's pretty much exactly what I would have wanted to do if I'd let all sensible restraint loose and indulged all of my fantasies.
We have a review each year, to see what's going right and what's going wrong and what can be improved. Each year I say "it's still the job of my dreams". It isn't perfect, and there are parts that I don't like. But that's reality.
I can be a smug bastard at times :-)
Career planning? That's having the sense to not resist too much when your friends force you to apply for the right job.

I was always going to be a vet.
Right from an early age. working with farm livestock, collecting all sorts of creatures as 'pets', reading and studying to one end-to be a vet.
O-levels came, all fine, still on course to be a vet.
Problems at home-ran away-never did become vet.
Regrets? No, not really. The strange path I have led since has brought me a lot of different experiences and meant I've met a lot of interesting people.
I no longer wish to be a vet.
The only thing I would add is that 'careers teachers/advisors' have an awesome responsibility: they , literally, mess with people's lives. If any of you are out there.....think on.
What next? Who knows: something will turn up
