Have you ever been hit in the head by the realization that you have made a colossally bad decision in your life that is easy to fix, but you are in the wrong position to do so?
It happened to me today.
I should have taken my father's advice and perused my degree in teaching.
I have always wanted to do something that helps people. I have always wanted to be a part of something bigger. What is bigger than teaching a child to learn? What is bigger than being a positive influence on a child's life?
I am kicking myself tonight. (And hoping my father never reads this because I really don't want to hear the "i told you so".)
All my friends are teachers; I seek out jobs in schools; I love kids.... duh, Jennifer.
Crap.

It's not too late. Now is a perfect time for you to add to your qualifications.
Yeah, you have plenty of time to pursue what you love. And it would be a great role modeling for your kids to see you passionate about working towards something. Good luck! I became a librarian for the same reasons and have never looked back.
