Older people - what career would you have pursued, if you had support, money and resources?

Marianne72

I had this idea following TheCatWoman's question about career v job. Older people  might feel poignant about a past lost in the mists of Time. Regret is human but can be destructive. It can also lead to enlightening insights. I think of my working life as a string of pearls rather than a single diamond solitaire. It was not the job alone, but people I worked with, homes I had during each period and what I learned about myself as a result. What are your experiences?

  • 1. I wish I had always known what I know now, so with support and money, I would likely have completed an archaeology degree earlier in life and gone onto research at an early age.

     Or

    2.  Primatologist researching mountain gorillas. I would have attempted to complete a zoology degree (I have an aversion to some aspects of zoology) allowing me to pursue a career as a primatologist.
