> definitely not. i know too many teens who have done that, and because of the money, not becasue they would enjoy the job. i know a lot of people who say they want to be a lawyer or a doctor or such, two of which stand out to me. one is a girl who wants to be a lawyer.... but she would be awful at it. she tends to blurt out whatever is on her mind, and i don't think that would go over too well. another girl, though, wants to be a doctor, and it's because she enjoys learning about the human body and she wants to be able to help people and she was really good at math and science... she wants to be a brain surgeon, actually, if i remember correctly.

> i, on the other hand, am not sure what i want to do with my life, and i figure, why do i have to know? i'm only going to be a junior in high school this year, it's not that important yet. i AM interested in drama, have been for as long as i remember, and international relations, ever since a model UN conference this year, but i don't know that either of those are things i'll end up in. i just want to go to a college where there are strong theater and international affair programs, but where i can dabble around in different stuff for my first year or so, just to get a taste for what really does interest me. (well, and a rural college, but that's another story)

glad to hear you agree unipeg. i just thought i'd share that i wanted to be a pharmacist since i was 11 years old. and after one year of those courses i knew that i didn't want to do it, and the hardest part was telling everyone that i changed my mind...so that's why it's easier to not decide what to do so early.

i am proud to say that after three years of college and three different majors, i am about to enter my final year as a systems analysis major. so things do turn out good in the end...

my main point is just don't get commited before you actually know for sure what you like...
