I had several people tell me that I should be spending more time trying to catch a husband so I could become a wife and mother and less time pursuing my career. They were such delightful conversations.

... an elected official. I would never subject my ethos to that sort of punishment.

An attorney/author/speaker/Physical Fitness Trainer/doctor/teacher/coach, and even run for a political office. I settle for running good sized organizations/offering suggestions to others in certain endeavors, and just being a blue color worker and now a retired old man that keeps a high activity level, both body and mind.

No one ever said "you should be."

I never considered what I would never consider.

One time when I was a kid (grammar school age back in the early 1950s), I thought I'd become an archaeologist. When I realized that I'd have to crawl around in sand and dirt and get all sweaty and dirty ... I dropped the idea and subscribed to Archaeology Magazine.

Yes, I should be a make-up model or eye model. I have a very unusual color of blue eyes.

I have also been told that I would make a great demon because my eyes glow.

Kids at school tell me I should have been a teacher because I am good at it. I volunteer and have never taught kids before ....except my own.

I've been asked if I'm in radio. After saying no, they tell me I should be, I have a great 'radio' voice. It's deep for a woman.

Funny you should say that! My Mom used to say that to me all the time growing up. She was an accomplished violinist, but I just never had that "gift". I tried it but even she could see it wasn't going to be my career path! I still have her violin to this day and treasure it and all those memories of listening to her play.

Yes, but I won't say here what they suggested I should be...LOL!

Yes, my husband and mother said I should have been an attorney, based on how well I can argue.

My friends say I should have been a psychiatrist or therapist.

My police officer BIL and others tried to get me to apply for a dispatcher position with 911 based on my voice and radio communication skills.

After getting caught up watching YouTube videos, I realize I could’ve been a Pimple Popper! OMG, if I’d only known there was a future in zits!

@RetRN You must have long fingers for them to make that observation. I know someone with long toes and I've been tempted to say "I bet you could hold a brush and paint with those toes.". Of course, I know that would be totally insensitive and I'd never joke about it in real life.
