Family Tree by Signe Wilkinson for August 10, 2024

I didn’t decide till during college—there had not really been anyone to help me know what I was really good at till then—so glad I did what I did!

Unless your family is wealthy, look at the medical or engineering fields, and in todays world you could go into skilled trades, they are begging for people.

Time flies when you start realizing things….

I realized what I wanted to do when I grew up when I was in my mid 40s.

Decide if you like, but be open to change, depending on either need or opportunity.

My father chose a profession, studied it at university, and did essentially that until he retired.

I, on the other hand, due to a series of (unrelated) circumstances beyond my control — some “negative”, others “positive” — have worked in several very different professions, none what I studied for, though at least two did benefit from that education. In fact, I had not even imagined any of them, but I have enjoyed a much more interesting life than what I had planned.

And of my siblings, only one remained in the profession he studied as an undergraduate, and only one other stayed in the same general field. They are all pleased with their “choices”.
