From childhood we are asked “What are you going to be when you grow up?” Some are fortunate enough to find their path early in life. Others have many ideas of what they could do or possibly would like to do but are unsure if those career choices are viable. Stories are legion of individuals who chose a major in college and then discovered that the occupation wasn’t the fit that they had hoped for. Feelings of being stuck, hopeless and frustrated are common. What to do? Go back to school? Many have loans that they are paying off.
