What do I want to be when I grow up?

When I was in high school 20 years ago, I was determined to go into interior design and be the next designer on CityLine with Marilyn Dennis... got to school and realized that it was not what I wanted.  After 2 years I realized that I could not do another 2...the thought gave me shivers.

I tried school again after I had my daughter but it was too much with a 16 month old, issues with family and life in general but it gave me another year under my belt.

Life went on and I worked many different positions in retail but was never happy with the hours or the pay.  This going back to school gave me the chance to decided what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and hopefully did not include long hours, working holidays and working for little pay.  

But, what to choose!!  The choices for the 2nd career program are varied.  You can do a 1yr program or a 2 yr program, a business program or perhaps learning to make wine..what to choose?

It came down to this, I asked myself what did I like to do.  I love to be doing paperwork, billing, invoicing, payroll but I loved working with people.  

I got it! 

I'm going to be a professional number cruncher! 

I'm going to be an ACCOUNTANT!!
