What I Learned Wednesday - Wrong Major?
Join the fun, post what you learned this week, and link up below. The code for the image is located in my sidebar. All I ask is you link back to this post. Oh, and make sure you link to your post and not your blog in general, okay?My current course in school is Money & Banking. Although I find it slightly more interesting than watching grass grow (no reflection on the professor), I actually know more about the subject than I would have first guessed. And, yes, this does come as a bit of a shock to me.
My major is accounting. Not so much because I want to be a CPA, because I do not. I do not really want to be an accountant. I received my Associates in Accounting back in 1995 and have worked as a bookkeeper or in other accounting functions ever since. It seemed only logical that I receive my Bachelors in Accounting. And, as much as I love math and am a good bookkeeper it is not what I want to do for a living.
So, you could imagine my surprise when I actually understood the course materials even though it all seems Greek to me. I read what people think on the given topic and I say, "huh?" Yet my responses seem to be equally as Greek and illicit an educational response of comprehension. Seriously! I am as shocked as the next person.
What is it I want to do? Ever since I can remember I have wanted to do two things: become a doctor and write. Honestly, I think becoming a doctor is not going to happen. It could, but I do not believe I could handle all the blood and stuff. I would like to do lab work. I am not sure I am ready to dedicate another two to four years to become a lab technician, though. That leaves writing. I have a few ideas milling about. And I even tied for 5th place in a weekly writing contest. Hey, it was not last and it was my first effort into sharing my work in an organized setting, ever. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
