I graduated as a chemical engineer, went into marketing, work with taxes and now run a small business coaching company and do internet marketing. And in high school I just wanted to manage the local Hardees cause thats where my friends worked. Go figure huh? :) Lesson learned - Never say that you won't at least learn about a job, you might find out you like it. Think you might like taxes? Find a local tax class and sign up. You never know.

My major is Criminal Justice and a couple of my elective courses turned me to a Paralegal program that the college had. I realized that I had an interest and "skill" in understanding taxes and bankruptcy that really suprised me. Shortly before the courses were over, I was asked to interview at a large local attorney's office. Just going to the interview showed me just how stuffy the office was and how burnt out I would get- quickly! I have since worked in my field and moved up within a local government, as well as at one of the "big-name" tax services part-time, and do not regret bypassing the Paralegal option.

I wouldn't like court, but I would probably like some of the research and writing involved in some areas. I always thought about being some type of non-litigating lawyer.
