Am I the only one....???

Momof3's picture

Am I the only one who still hasn't figured out what I actually want to be when I grow up! I'm 25 years old with 3 kids. I'm getting my BS in Business Management but I have no clue what I want to do. I have ideas of things I would like to do but at the same time, I get bored really easily and don't know how long I could do these things. My hubby gets annoyed because I'm always wanting to try something new. I started in business, then I went to education, then I went to massage therapy (which I'm not to sure I want to give up on) and now I'm back in business. I'm really thinking that I'm way too old to not have picked a career yet? Am I the only one?

I think it's alot of people

You are already something full time and that's a mom.

I don't think there is any set time for someone to know for sure what career they want for life. After all, our personalities are always changing.

My personalities defintely changing!

That was funny cause my hubby told me he never knows who he's coming home to! I'm one of those people who knows I can't be supermom but I still try and can't figure out why I can't! LOL! I expect myself to go above and beyond because I have high expectations of myself. The thing is I know I will probably fail but I still have to try. I think it's a competition with myself. Does that make sense to anyone but me?!?!

I thought it was just a man

I thought it was just a man thing,not wanting to grow up.
I'M 41 and still don't know what to do.maybe a fireman or a train driver.

That IS a man thing! LOL

You are too funny! I didn't say I didn't WANT to grow up I said I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grow up! LOL! However, my hubby says I'm more like one of the guys. I would much rather grab a drink and a bag of chips and watch a football game than go get my hair and nails done!

LOL! I have been blogging

LOL! I have been blogging about this here and elsewhere.

I have had an amazing life, filled with all kinds of adventures. I am not looking for an early demise, but if it happened, I would die happy with my accomplishments. But the more years that go by, the more dissatisfied I become with what I've been doing recently. I mean, there just aren't many of those stories within the last decade or so that I can tell friends that are certain to drop their jaws. So, I decided that I'm going to get my pilot's license. It's something I've always wanted to do, and if it keeps me from boredom, it's worth it.

I have jobs, I couldn't care less about a career, and above all that I'm a mother. I'm happy being a mom, but my kids need a mom who is happy within her own skin, and increasingly, I'm not. I need to find that crazy girl I used to know.

What I want to be and what I am now

Right now I stay at home and work as an independent researcher. I have my 2 youngest kids here all day and as much as I love them, I'm tempted to go back to work outside of the home to take a break. If I was to do that, I want something that will be more of a career. I've done a lot of volunteer work but nothing that I've found makes me so excited that I can't see not doing. I don't know if I've done anything that will drop someone's jaw at all (beyond selling adult toys and I don't think that counts!!!)* Besides I'm a terrible sales person! I love being a mom and I love working from home but I think I just really need a break WHILE I work from home. Who knows? (certainly not me!) lol

I know what I want to be

I know what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be a history teacher. Getting there is the problem. I have 2 children a girl & a baby boy. I'm 22 & married, but I'm a stay at home mom. I love my kids more then anything but I want to go back to school so bad. So I have written a book to help me get back to school so I can become a teacher. But now I'm afraid its not good. My husband says its good but is he just saying that? I think for now I just want to stay home for a while.
