School post
If you could go to school for anything other than what you did, what would you do?
Let's assume money is no object.
If I could go back to my 18 year old self, I wish I had gone for a Psy D. or PhD in Neuropsych. I am very interested in how trauma affects the brain. I also liked working with children with brain injuries. At the time, I didn't think I wanted to be in school that long and didn't think I could handle the science classes.

Re: School post
Stand up for something you believe in.
Ugh. I don't know. There are so many things I want to do.
I'd love to receive a law degree, or further my education in Forensic Psychology...or a history degree - Civil War to present day American history to be more specific.
I switched degrees twice (Spanish w/ Geology minor > Tourism and Event Management w/ Spanish minor > Creative Writing w/ Span and TEM minors, lol) so I'm pretty happy where I ended up, even if it is a fairly useless degree with two fairly useless minors tacked on.
But to make things even more useless, I would love to go back and get my MFA in either poetry or fiction. That would make me very happy.
Marine Biology.
Which is odd since I hate the water, but marine animals fasinate me.
I really am happy with my chosen career path, but I would study journalism (instead of psychology) so I can be a proper journalist and not feel like I'm just a fraud who lucked into this. Also, I would take shorthand classes cause I am horrible at interviewing people cause I scribble their responses and can't read my own writing.
Or maybe english/creative writing, and take a stab at that Great American Novel.
I would have stayed on the path I was one, but started with pre-law and followed through to law school.
Either that, or I would have stuck with my initial Biology plan and gone on to veterinary medicine.

I'm pretty happy with my career path - I make a pretty good salary for having a Bachelor's and NOT needing a Master's. Which means my school loans aren't that bad. With the volatile career that Michael has it's really good that I have the type of stability that I have. And accounting isn't going away anytime soon...
If my salary wasn't as important to us.... I would have gone with graphic design/photography or some sort of event planning. I'm contemplating dabbling in it at some point. I'd also love to be a music teacher, but I don't think I could handle the menusha of school districts/politics, etc.
