Full Careers

Is it crazy to have too many career interests and goals?

After high school, I decided to get my first college degree in Education and have been a teacher for 12 years. I also have my masters in Counseling, but never did pursue jobs in with this because I never did get the certification or my liscense. Now, 5 years later, I'm working on a second Bachelor's degree in Information Techonology because I like computers and was ready to get out of the classroom. I've also had the desire to get into real estate, medical field, and own a business one day. Does this sound crazy to you?

1. No, you have lots of options, and I think that is ALWAYS a good thing - especially in today's society.
2. Actually it doesnt considering the stats say that most of us post baby bommers will have three or more careers in our professional life time. I just really hope for your sake that you are able to do all of that education without student loans........sounds like to me you should be a professional student and just keep on keeping on.
3. nope...am attending college for 1st time after being out of school 21 years....my plan is...rest of this year finish my lpn classes i'm already scheduled for...starting next fall bridge over to rn....do that for a year then the following yuear add an associates degree in psychology onto the rn degree.....once all that is done want to go for computer forensics and a masters in psychology
4. Not to me, I think ur trying to fullfil ur dreams, which keep changing, nothing wrong in it so long as u can keep on going, The more the experience in various fields the better will it help u to start ur own business, as u keep learning the ups and downs of various fields
5. Not at all. I change interests all the time. You are just "playing the field." It's good to have a varied education, it sounds like you can do anything!
6. sounds like me. I want to become a pre-med student, run my own business, and become a graphic designer. But one of these days you have to become happy in what you pursue because always feeling that you want to switch professions will not get you far because you'll always have to start all over. Do your research.
7. No you are completely normal. Life is a journey, so changing paths is good at any age. If you can afford to make the change, it is all the better. Best of luck!
