I agree, counselors should encourage not discourage.

I've been working in movie visual effects for about a decade and now my old teachers ignore me. :lol:

Good for you! I'm glad you stuck to your guns and did what you wanted to do.

I wanted to be a marine mammal biologist but... I don't really like swimming in saltwater or the idea of putting on a clammy wetsuit...or boats... lol..... I DID end up working with animals though (veterinary ward nurse) and only have to go armpit deep in my marine tank!

I'm really happy with the end result ;)

All I remember is I wanted to be "BIGGER" and I achieved that at 230 lbs. , so I guess I meant my goal... and my father always said I wouldn't be successful, I guess I fooled him. I had many career paths to choose from Marine Biology, Resp. Therapists, and a first line defensemen for the Toronto Maple Leafs but I finally decided on an Industrial Construction Electrician. Still have hopes of one day accomplishing one of the others except for TML defensemen, I think for them there is little hope, LOL, but I still am a loyal but quiet fan!
