How old were you when you decided what you really wanted to do with your life?

Time and time again I thought I knew, but I didn't actually realize what I wanted to do until I was 27 and had been through seven different college majors.

I still don't know. That's why I think it's ridiculous to expect younger people to know.

@MsSwan Yeah, for everyone it's different.

Oh yeah, young people get asked that question all the time. It's like f*ck if they know. We didn't.

Well I mean holy poon snap, who the hell knows what they want to do when they are like 25 and under?
Oh wait, they DO know. They want to, ummm, "be romantic", party, enjoy life. Perform scientific tests of the effects of alcohol, using random beverages, and maybe "partake" in a bit of 420.

But is there an age where people know "what they want to be when they grow up?" Well, my personal experience is - that age isn't 48. 😄 I still do not know but I am pretty sure my present job isn't it.

Ya know Swan, I do not know if you have kids but I bet you would be a "cool parent". I know I am.

I don't have kids, but I agree I would've been a cool parent. I was always too afraid of the responsibility.
