[quote=svelte]Should tell you how I found my career also. When I graduated HS, I was convinced I wanted to be an architect. I was 2 years into a 6 year architecture degree at a major midwest university when I decided I was badly mistaken…didn’t like it at all. Kind of like flu said, it’s one thing to be drawing/working on your stuff…entirely different when someone else is calling the shots!

So I quit school, quit my job, packed up my bags and moved to California. Still confused as to what to do, I worked odd jobs for a year and basically did nothing but manual labor during the day and play at night. My buddy was a computer science major so I tagged along with him to the computer lab when he worked on projects. That lit my fire, that’s what I wanted to do. So I applied to a California university and got in as a computer science major.

That’s how I found my niche and I never looked back.[/quote]

If we could know that everything would work out during our darkest confusion, the ride would be more fun. well, maybe fun is the wrong word. Less scary. less turbulence. I wonder if there is more pressure on young people to feel like they’re on the right path from the start nowadays.
