Re: If I had it do over again, I'd have been into

Realistically: An RN. I think I would have been good at it.

Fantasy: I still want to be a best selling author, who writes book after book. Like Debbie Macumber, or Steven King. Oh, and I work out of a fabulous beach house.

...textile development and design. I should have gone to the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science which had and still has a unique bachelor's program.

If any of you remember my "Fabric Failure" post over the summer(?), that was just the high school senior still inside me having her occasional temper tantrum.

Independently wealthy. I think that's the road to go.

At one point I told my husband that when in high school and a little later I wanted to be a social worker.

He said it's a good thing I wasn't because I'd feel so sorry for all of them I'd be bringing them home to take care of them!

Have no idea. Since it is impossible to do it over again....why even think about it?

I would have studied design and engineering. And become a pet toy designer.

Last night I was shopping Amazon for a replacement laser pointer, for entertaining and exercising the cats, because I broke my pointer. Well you would not believe the gizmos people have designed for this purpose.

I can't imagine a more fun filled job than to create and test pet toys all week.

Below are the models I've saved to my wishlist. I've already bought a replacement plain laser pointer. The rocking egg ball with feathers and mouse noises looks like a riot. The last picture reminds me of a Dalek! Do you see it too?

@PickyPicky3 -- You hit my nail on the head. Luckily I had a great career in landscaping, but I have had a life long passion for fabrics. It's the feel in the hand and close-up visual appeal, the texture and dye saturation, or no dye at all.

Well, I know you get it.

@qualitygal I would be in ANYTHING but banking. I spent 20 years in a job at at bank and NO pension retirement. I then worked at a gas company for 14 years and it was also a journey with NO pension. Yes, they were both my choices, but I live in a small town and had elderly parents with no one else to take care of them.
