Do you know that Terry Lundgren, the CEO of Neiman Marcus Marcus was originally a student in veterinary medicine?
He was learning how to inseminate a cow - had his arm up her backside, looking for her ovaries when he saw a man with no arm. "That's how I lost my arm." the man said. He changed his major the next day and finished college by paying his own way after his father cut his funds. He cleaned shrimp for a local restaurant.

Every one of us is given a different live to live and to lead. Things around us change - we change our minds - the truth is you never know what is going to happen tomorrow that will hand you the world or take it away.

The best advice I could offer you is to do what makes you happy - enjoy your life - it'll be over long before you're ready for the end. [img]smile.gif[/img]

to answer your questions: I am lucky to have gotten my Bachelor's with two small children and one on the way.
That is NOT how I had originally planned it all out! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I am very pleased with the way my life has proceeded to this point. I lucked out with an intelligent and caring husband, 3 great kids who want to take over the various ventures that he and I started to carry it all on and most importantly, I can live with myself, the way I look, and the consequences of my actions, all without guilt or regret.
I agree that you may be bothered by reading other people's stories though - your's remains yet for you to write and the only one who can pen it out is you.
(something my father taught me: there is nothing in life that you can't learn or do, you just have to have the desire to make it happen.)
