  Exit Counsellor!!! hahaha. ...well, maybe not so hahaha. hmmm.....

  Odrade???? Maybe it's too early for my brain to kick in...but I haven't a clue here...

  I'm a network administrator, and I like what I do, so I would most likely choose the same career path. I just wish I started sooner, and I regret not having a university education.

  I have the same regret, Walter....btw, just what does a network administrator do? It is rarely that someone finds their proper "nitch" in career choices...you're lucky...

  I would go to college, get a BS in history and a MS in economics, and go into international development with a non-governmental organization. Now I'm going to make my living as a writer. So far magazines and contract jobs, but my book and screenplay are coming!

  Mightily ambitious goal, Phant....and a worthy undertaking....and WOW! I think you're a terrific writer, Phant....let us know when you'll be published, ya hear?

  I would take John Mellancamp's advice and learn how to play guitar.

  SO, that's something I've always wanted to be able to do....maybe the next time around...(sigh)

  1. I caught site of "the disgusting thing standing where it ought not to be" and I am convinced it is the WTS, caliming to be the channel for god on earth.

  2. "religion is a snare and a trap"

  I'm with xjw_b12 on this....especially No. 1.....that is brilliantly the truth and should be revealed to every JW on earth....

  Tink, whatever path you choose, just be sure to check out the "down sides" with others who've followed it before you, cherie!

  will do ... please point me in the direction of an artist-horse trainer-ballerina-therapist-personal trainer who writes children's literature in his/her spare time ;)

  OMG!!!

  What I meant, silly, is I haven't spent any time being an "adult" yet... so I have my whole adult life ahead of me ;)

  Thanks for the "heads up", Phant...so....what're ya gonna be when YOU grow up, dude?

  Psychology / Marital Therapy I've always scored well in the areas of empathy and advocacy / willingness to intercede in other's behalf. One of the requirements to get hired where I work was that I had to take (not "pass") a DISC or personality test. The test's findings were like they always are. When it said that I'm "a peacemaker whose able to see many different viewpoints; and having the ability to focus on the people and not just the issue; sensitive to the feelings of others", I was not surprised. I think I'd be good at it.

  Sounds like a "winner" Teej! I think you'd be good at it, too...

  You only begin to realise what you want to do with life when you are too old to do it.

  This is so true, Hamas....I didn't start seriously thinking about what I had wanted to do with my life until very far along in my JW sojourn....near time for my exodus...by then it was too late to reach for most of the paths I would've considered...

  I would like to be a doctor, or a police officer.Those are two things I always longed to be.

  Shera, those are noble goals, indeed, but as for myself, since I've grown older...when I think of those two professions, I think....lawsuits.... and......lawsuits.....

  I'd return to my childhood dream and take up my mother's offer of a free ride through theatre school! If I'd only had the nerve to do that when I was 18, I'd have been one of those "didn't I see her in..." faces on the street. I loved performing -- loved it so much that rehearsal was every bit as much fun as the curtain call on opening night. But, no, I got religion -- absolutely the wrong religion -- instead. Well, I can still carry out a related dream -- I'm putting a book of poetry together. Hope to have the first draft finished by the time I'm fifty.

  GentlyFeral, sounds like you've got it "in your blood"...let us know when it's published...K?

  But Frannie, I do have my whole adult life ahead of me...ask any of my friends!

  Well, then....you are one lucky ducky, Phant....I'd sure like to have another "crack at life"....

  i do have my whole adult life ahead of me :) i just don't know what i want to be yet.

  Tink, whatever path you choose, just be sure to check out the "down sides" with others who've followed it before you, cherie!

  I do have my adult life ahead of me and I have it planned out until my death . My career aspirations are as follows: Currently majoring in Forensic Science and Psychology. Upon graduation I hope to become a Crime Scene Technician or Forensic Scientist for a police crime lab ----> Special Agent for the FBI -----> Crime Scene Tech for the FBI ------> Criminal Psychologist or Profiler for the FBI Why? Well, ever since my best friend was murdered when I was a small child, I've had a passion for righting wrongs. Law enforcement has always been of interest to me, but also the "whys". Like, when would a father kill his three kids? So Psychology has also intrigued me. So how could I combine the two? Criminal Psychologist.

  SP, sounds like a terrific plan, hon...to me that's one of the more fascinating aspects of scientific endeavor....annnnnd...you'll know where all the "bodies are buried" in a manner of speaking...

  Mulan, your Malaysian trip sounds totally fascinating....and thank you for sharing those pics with us....It was very insightful of you to "dress down" in order not to stand out....I know how that is....when we were in Cyprus in the '60's, we women were admonished by the American Embassy not to wear slacks or any long pants in public places there....seems the locals related the wearing of this form of attire to being a prostitute....I giggle to myself everytime I recall wearing a pair of stirrup pants downtown in Nicosia before the Embassy told us about this....I could hear a myriad of clattering fooststeps behind me, echoing off the buildings, as I toured the downtown area....a whole CROWD of local Greek women were following me around when I looked back to see what was going on...LOL
