A nurse or an elementary school teacher. I was a candy-striper at the VA hospital and loved it. I also volunteered at a nursing home when I was a teenager. In sixth grade I was a tutor for reading for 2nd and 3rd graders. I loved that.
Like B2Y, I learned that I probably wouldn't do well as a nurse but in some other capacity of caring in the hospital.
I'm glad I didn't pursue the teaching route. Things are so different now than they were when I was in elementary school.
Ultimately, I got to do what I loved. I stayed home with each of my boys till they were old enough to go to preschool. By that time I was ready to get out of the house and so were they!
I think if I had not gotten married quite so young I would have taken a different route. Who knows? But I'm not complaining.
