    I wanted to join the Navy really bad after highschool, but of course that was wrong. I also wanted to be a gym teacher but going to school was wrong. So I became a big nothing. I'm still very dissatisfied with myself career wise. Maybe if I catch a break I can still become a rock n roll star.

    First, I wanted to be a police officer, but the elders told me that I wouldn't be able to carry a gun.

    Second, I wanted to be an Archetiect? I thought I could design homes in the new system. That what got me through college.

    I ended up being an Environmentalist who designs programs to remediate contaminated resources.

    Dustin ...YOU ARE NOT A BIG NOTHING!

    You have a great job, nice apartment, and you have a beautiful wife. Most people do not have what you have.

    With your Job you are doing well. Its a great job! Yeah, I know you want something better later on. Just keep your eyes open, and listen to your heart. I would never think you are a big nothing. Never ever.

    I always wanted to be a badass. When I was in elementary school, I was the Bart Simpson type. In middle school, I got suspended 17 times for fighting. Now that I'm in high school, I just want to be myself and I want to be a friend before anything else.

    But I used to want to be like a SWAT team member.... Or a hunting guide in some far off place.

    Now I realistically want to work in the graphics industry. I tell witnesses this and they are "welll you could run the presses at Bethel". I'd rather eat ink.

    But in college I plan on working securty at concerts and bars... Or maybe the guy who oils up the strippers?

    Richie with your talents with Photoshop and what not I'd say go for graphic arts.

    Fortunately the printing biz is a good high paying industry...at least for now until they figure out how to move that to China too. A few of my friends are in the printing biz...great field.

    I read this somewhere when I was in high school. Just thought I'd share it here.

    "If you can't be a tree on top of a mountain, then be a modest shrub in the valley, but make sure to be the greenest shrub around."
