Okay, so I didn’t really say that when I was a kid. But I did come close. I did know that I wanted to be a lawyer and I wanted to work in international matters. And it was clearly fated. My great-grandmother, who lived in Greenville, SC told everyone that I talked like a Philadelphia lawyer. And here I am, a Philadelphia lawyer (lesson learned, listen to your elders).

There are no fancy requirements. More or less, we just want your thoughts on career decisions and how those are influenced. Consider:
What did you want to be when you were little?
What do you still plan on doing now? It’s never too late to start a new career – just think, Colonel Sanders didn’t start KFC until he was 66, after retirement age.
What do your kids want to do?
Why are you doing what you’re doing now?
We’re not looking for tomes. Just your brief thoughts and experiences. Post away!
