when I was a kid, I figured I'd be a librarian or a teacher... went through a brief period of thinking about law school early in college.

1. Operations Director for a Marketing Strategies / Advertising Firm

2. Some days I can tolerate my job, most days I almost hate it. I love my manager though and he is all that is keeping me here right now.

4. I wanted to be a doctor until I took biology in high school and hated it. I've always like science and especially math, so being an engineer isn't too far off. I wanted to do civil engineer b/c I like the idea of making buildings and I wanted to know how they build parking garages without messing up the layers, LOL! I couldn't do civil engineer in the program that I was in though.

1. Oil & Gas Economist
2. I like the industry (I have always been obsessed with science, natural resources, etc.), I work on international issues, so it's always interesting subject matter and I love econ. Unfortunately, some days I feel more like a journalist or a statistician than I do an actual analyst/economist.
3. No. Terrified of Econ in college, and had little clue as to what it was before that. I thought I wanted to be a Doctor, but after college (MCATS, med school apps and all), I thought otherwise. I fell in love with Econ while studing international development in Grad School.
4. I'd still like to do more international development work. Lately I have thought a lot about coming home to CT. I would love to work on some of the renewable energy policy that's going on. It would be cool to be a policy advisor to the Governor. Any contacts ladies?
I have also thought about wanting to get into economic development at the regional/local level.
