    Veterinarian...then I found out how 'dirty' they are (as in policies/procedures wise). :|
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I do remember saying this to people in response to their "what do you want to be when you grow up"

    My mom would say "I think they mean like a nurse or something" : and I would think "the heck with that, I wanna be a bird"

    Didn't know what I wanted to do, just what I didn't. I have NEVER wanted to sit behind a desk, pushing meaningless paper while wearing a suit and tie. And except for one miserable year, I have totally succeeded!!

    I've been a Recreation supervisor, carpenter/leadman in TV/film, now a dog trainer and breeder. No dress code just shorts and and t-shirts, sleeves optional.

    Cheers,
    Barger
