Full Careers
changing my job?
i am going through a dilemma. right now, i am going to college to become a teacher. i am MISERABLE at the college i am attending and i plan on transferring out of here when this semester ends. my career path has also changed- i want to become a dental assitant. there is a career center back home where i could take classes to be one- it lasts 15 weeks. thing is, it's not technically a "college" and i don't want my mom to think i am a failure. i've always had dental hygeine and dental assisting in the back of my head, but i wanted to see how i liked teaching before i thought about it. do you guys think i am cutting myself short by doing this? i don't want my mom to be upset with me. thanks :(

- No you are not cutting yourself short. You should always pursue the job that you really want to do no matter what because that way, you have a chance at being happy with your career. Myself and many others listened to our parents and other influences and ended up in careers we don't like. Now I am at a point where I am trying to change careers and it is much harder to do so now because I am much older and have accumulated much debt over the years from getting advanced degrees in a field I didn't like anyway.
