are you fed up with your job? did u ever feel regret with the degree you have chosen? did it ever cross your mind to shift from your chosen field? and if you were given the chance to choose a different career, what job would you choose?

yeah, sometimes I feel bored with my job today. I'm a teacher in a small school in my neighborhood. I also teach in an informal education institution. but being a teacher is not my dream at all. I took international relation studies when I was in a university because I want to be a diplomat or TV reporter or a journalist. but they are all not my destiny. it's sad in the beginning but I try to accept what God gave to me. but, in the bottom of my heart, I want to be someone, to be different from I am today..^^

I am really fed up with my job being a secretary, I did not dream to be a secretary but I don't know why I was led to this path. I finished Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I did not regret studying political science but due to lack of resources, time and money together at one time, I wasn't able to go to law school. It would be difficult to go to law school being employed at the same time as this course requires focus and full attention. I am now in my early 40's and for me to go to law school now would require another five years so I don't think I would ever do it anymore. Yeah, it's really a pity that I did not follow my heart from the start.

hi! there hexebella, i completely understand what you've been through. my parents were not that well off, but i was lucky to be in the medical field which i later liked, since my first love was journalism. well, it's never too late to choose another career. who knows you'll be better in business or cooking * wink! :)
