The Consultant... The Lawyer... The Mom... The Lost Girl

I've reached a point in my educational "career" where I have to decide what I want to be when I grow up.  


When I went back to school, i started with a General Studies program so I could get most of my core classes out of the way and not have to commit to anything.  


Then, I finished that.


So, I decided to get a Business Foundations Certificate (another piece of wallpaper).  And this December, I will have finished that too.


I seriously need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.


I've tossed around all kinds of ideas for my future career.  I've asked myself the standard questions:


What do I enjoy?


Well, I enjoy working independently, I enjoy leading projects to completion, I enjoy seeing results. 

I enjoy working with people, Lean Six Sigma concepts applied to anything as well as the ever changing medical field.


I enjoy criminal law, marketing and helping others.


I don't want a business degree, because i feel like everyone has one.


I'd love to be a lawyer, but i don't want to take another 120 ish credit hours and then lose a case.  oh, that would kill my pride.


I'd love to be an OB/GYN as I love the medical field and helping people, however.. again - I'm not interested in being in school for the next 40 years either.


Seriously, I have to decide!!!


I have another blog I'm going to write sometime about the JCPenney pricing structure and why I think they should've consulted me.


Which makes me think... maybe I should be an independent consultant.


But how do you do that?



Bah humbug.  Any suggestions?
