Career - Then and now

gemazing

When you were a child what did you want to be/do?

I wanted to be a trapeze artist or tightrope walker.

I ended up in an office job BUT am going to try both after lockdown restrictions are over 😬

Wow, don’t fall. You might obtain a sun Duran hematoma. Or a fractured sacral ala.

@gemazing great ideas! I am from an older generation and back then careers and college were not a big thing. So I didn't have an idea of what type of career I wanted. I just followed what other girls did - took typing and shorthand and became a secretary. But when I was in my 40s that's when I started thinking career. I went to college and fell in love with psychology. I got both my bachelor's and masters' degrees but didn't want to do any counseling. Instead I created a mental health website and created mental health groups to help those who struggled with a mental health disorder.

I can't get into your profile. It's giving me an error message. I don't have those mental health groups anymore but if you have a Facebook account look up the disorders by name and you're bound to find some groups.
