What should I be when I grow up?
I am presently enrolled in college online studying to become a paralegal. Although this is very interesting to me, I’m not sure I am in the best location geographically (very rural here) to make good use of a degree in that field.
I am curious as all get out. I love to learn. I love to interact with people. I love researching and digging up information. I also like quiet environments, am not overly active, am actually quite shy, and enjoy my freedom.
What would be a good career option for me at this age? I understand that I could volunteer, but I’d like to make some money.
Thanks for all of your original ideas.

I think you got the rest of us beat. I’m sitting here trying to crunch numbers under increasingly difficult deadlines with a software package that hiccups quite often. If I can do it over again, I’d go back to photography and perhaps publish a coffee table book on my favorite areas of the country. I really loved those guys who toured the country and used a red couch in all their photos. I thought that was incredible creative and humorous.
My father was a quiet man who worked on farms for most of his childhood. He liked to say that plants don’t talk back. When he retired he began cultivating fruit trees. He’s gone now but we still have the trees and look forward to orange and tangerine harvest this winter.
I hope whatever you choose always go with what your heart tells you.
