If I had the time or money I would go to school for something, not even sure what. Guess if I was more serious about it I would decide and make it happen but I can't afford the time or money. I would love to have my own bakery/cafe, I think that would be an idea...

I was an Accountant, and other positions when I worked for the Government when younger. I'm now an Evangelist/Minister of the Gospel. Was this my choice? No, but when God calls you to do something, everything else drops by the wayside and becomes unimportant. Now, I can't imagine being anything else. When I told my Uncle that I was going into the Ministry he became a bit upset and told me that I would never be able to make a decent living. I told him that's not why I'm doing it. Unless you have a call on your life, you won't understand how you can give up everything else and be happy about it. I've never been happier in my life. To be able to know with all assuredness that you are doing what you are supposed to do on this earth, and are fulfilling what God has prepared for you all along is contentment no money can buy.

I agree Annella, sometimes there are just times when you feel "I have to do this, this is the reason for my life." And people just don't understand because either they can't understand, or because it hasn't happened to them, so they don't support you. Money isn't everything, and I'm glad you found your calling.

If I had my choice, I would do something more to do with any of the sciences. Geology, Astronomy, etc. I love science, and my degree that I received is useless and doesn't match with who I am as a person at all. I'd like to go back to school, but it's too expensive.

I would like to go back to college to get my BA and then go to grad school .  I put my education on hold for my health and family as well.  Since I do not have the money for college I need to get a part time jobs.  I have been looking for a jobs for three years now.   I will keep pushing on, that is all I can do.  I know all we can do is to keep on trying to do better.

I did have a choice in what work I wanted to do and I wanted to work at the job that would provide the best for a growing family.  So I chose to work in the information processing field or computers and it provided nicely for me.

 I would love to pursue a path in the arts. I would really love work as a visual artist, or a musician, but realistically that would not give me much stability as a career option. Rather I've decided to pursue a major in engineering in college. I do enjoy building things and the sciences, and I know that a career in this field will provide me with the solidity i need for a stable life and later help to support a family.
