The fact of the matter is, when you start getting older, looking back, and occasionally realizing that you might have done something entirely different...
Do you have a dream job? One that you wish you had done, or one that you want to do? LOL, I don't care how far out it might seem, this is a dream job, after all! What would be, or would have been, the way you'd spend your life?
LOL, I actually have three...The first is the only really practical one, but my mother had a FIT, and my Dad put his foot down, and I grew up in a time and place where that carried a LOT more weight than it does now. I wanted to be a librarian. And given my love of books, and the joy I get from them, I'd have certainly gotten my Master's degree, and possibly a PhD!
The second is zookeeper. Didn't even bring that up to the parents, as that was just...well. Let's put it this way, some of the courses necessary to become a zookeeper would have driven me nuts. NOW, they have a two-year course from a community college that will get you a job, but back then, it was a bachelor's degree in zoology or a similar degree. But I'd have loved that job.
The third, and this is WAY out in Dream Land, I'd have loved to have had the necessary talent to become a pet psychic. I'd get a certain amount of amusement by (truthfully) reporting, "Your dog says if you don't stop dressing her up to match your outfits, you're going to get a quick nip in the rear end," or "your cat says if you hate the hairballs that much, grab a brush and help a girl out!"
