So I think that I've narrowed down my answer. For some this question is easy to answer and all throughout grade school, jr high, and the beginning of high school, it was for me too. I knew I wanted to be a grade school teacher. And then I spoke with a teacher, and she flat out said, "You don't want to be a teacher!" backing it up with a legitimate rationale: Long hours, little pay. I had always known this, but coming from her, it held more weight. I'd never had a teacher tell me they'd wish they'd chosen an alternative profession. Consequently, the last year of high school, and even my first year of college I had no idea as to what I wanted to do with my life. It's taken 10 + years to figure it out, but after doing some research, I've decided that I would love to get a degree in Graphic Design (Possibly with a journalism minor) and get a job with a magazine! I've always enjoyed being creative and I think this will be an excellent opportunity to do this full time! (Knock on Wood)...
ADDITIONALLY: I recently found out that the University of Washington has a Graphic Design School - although I believe it's called something else... Obviously I need to do a little more research. BUT this is freaking awesome, as I've always wanted to go back, and actually get a degree from the UW! The other option would be the Seattle Art Institute. Either way... I'll be moving back to the beautiful city of SEATTLE!!! :)
Thoughts?

PS - there are good things about being a teacher too, but it is definitely long hours and we just got officially put to number two on the list of lowest paying jobs with a college degree. Woo Hoo!
