Follow up question to Nalani's "what do you do ..."...

Follow up question to Nalani's "what do you do ..."...

What do you want to do??? Happy with what you are doing now?? Or looking for somthing "better"???

Me, I like what I do now (SQA), but I figure that someday the computer industry and I will part ways. Or at least form a different kind of relationship. I've already been in the industry for 10+ years now. I can't really imagine being in for more than 20 or 25 years (although I know lots of people who've done so).

I'm thinking that in my next career, maybe I'll build furniture (love my power tools - and Norm on New Yankee Workshop) - or maybe Interior Design - or maybe Graphic Arts.

So, what will it be for you all?

I started out with the intent of becoming a developer. Decided that in 10th grade after figuring that I would not be a good interpreter after all (nearly failed French - aced Latin though). I went into QA as a stepping stone to Development. But I found out along that way that QA was an interesting and fairly new field unto itself and now I don't really have any interest in Development anymore. Nice thing is, I do get to satifsfy my coding urges every now and again with automated testing.

Psychology - interesting field. I took Psych 101 in college. We had to pick from a selection of grad student research projects to participate in as part of the course. I picked one where this guy was measuring responses to visual and auditory stimulation and comparing "normal" people with "criminally insane" people.

He explained the experiment to me afterwards and I asked him how I measured up. He did not think that was very funny.

holycow .. those are diverse areas ... if you're truly looking into marine biology, you'll have to come out here to study. The University of Hawai'i (both the Hilo and Manoa campuses) have the best marine sciences departments ever. :)

what do I want to be when I grow up?

I don't know. I don't know really what I want to do or if I'm actually doing what I want to do .. I like my job .. I like the fact that it keeps me near my family and my children ... I've been thinking a lot about my life and future lately ... and to be honest, nothing seems to make any sense ...

being born is not asked, death is inevitable......
life doesn't makes sense......

however, i enjoy being here, future could worry me, but i'm more concerned about "right now".
