One of my college professors told me I should be a voice major; I was a piano major. I never believed him. My singing voice is like a dime a dozen out there.

I was going to school for broadcasting at the time, I was planning to be a radio DJ, but that didn't pan out. I left school so I could work full-time and help my grandfather. My grandmother had fallen seriously ill and I needed to help provide financial support.
I've also been told I should have been a nurse. I'm not squeamish (except when it comes to vomit), but I couldn't handle the long hours, being on my feet all the time, and having to work holidays and going in when the weather is horrendous. I would have major burnout. You have to have a passion for nursing. My sister-in-law is a ICU nurse and right now she's experiencing some burnout. God bless the men and women who do it though.
@Cumbercookie13very creepy. He probably had an ********* that your youth didn't pick up on. I would've picked up my stapler and said I'm armed and dangerous as a haha moment, that he would definitely understand as anything but.
@puttypiesmomOh, I thought he was creepy, and I gave him a look, but since there were other customers in the store at the time, I decided not to make a scene. I rang him up and continued with my shift. I never saw him again so I like to think he knew he was out of line and embarrassed himself. I also had another guy try and pick me up while I was working there and I told the guy I had a boyfriend who was a police officer who liked to come by and check up on me. He didn't believe me, but he did stop pestering me though!

I have had several people tell me over the years, "You should be a writer." I do enjoy writing and would love to author a children's book about pet therapy. Maybe some day ...

I hear this too.
And I reply that I can only put together things I like. I would be lost trying to (or even wanting to) put together something with a style and items I don't care for.

I do not know quite how to take that... i am 62 years young....
Is that a compliment?? Or are they telling me that I am old now,.... but look like I COULD HAVE BEEN A MODEL???
I suppose it is a backsided compliment of sorts LOL!
There is no way this is anything but a compliment!
This is why some people won't give compliments, because others are looking at it from the wrong angle and take it the wrong way.

That's the other good reason I never wanted to either!(and people always suggested it)
And the other is just when doing it as a job, its not as enjoyable.
I wouldn't have enough interest to research different styles to create for others either, esp. if I didn't like the styles.

So many times I have been told I should have been an Elementary School teacher. I love children!!!!! I always wanted to be a 2nd grade school teacher...

Hearing the words "You should..." is a total turnoff to me. I don't want to hear what anyone thinks I should or shouldn't do or say.
You should just mind your own business and worry about what YOU should do and leave me alone

@on the bay Perhaps you should have been a writer...LOL

That to me seems like such a nerve-wracking scary job. Did they say why they thought that?
