At what age did you learn what it was you wanted to do for the rest of your life?

I got one of those in my backyard. It needs a flux capacitor though.

Which model is it? Mine had the same problem. Those flux capacitors arn't cheap either. I also have one of the actuator hydrolics that went bad on it in mid battle.

6th grade (approx. 11-12 yrs. old) - school took away our bouncy rubber balls because our class was playing "smear-the-queer." So without a ball, we just used someone's slipper (flip-flop, sandal, etc) as the tool that decided who was the "queer" to smear. (Basically a game where someone kicks or throws a ball (or slipper, in our case) in the air, and whoever catches it get chased by everyone else, until he/she is tackled...then that person kicks the ball in the air, and the game continues). The school threatened all involved with playing a "unauthorized ball game." I made the argument to the principle that we didn't have a ball, therefore could not possibly be playing any kind of ball game, authorized or not. Also argued that when the school limited our recess activities (they had already banned dodge-ball, basketball and kick-ball) we were left with little choices on how to "play" during our recess. The principle agreed not to give us detention, but then banned all type of "tackling" or "rough-housing" games. My 6th grade teacher said I should be an attorney. I had no idea what that was, but was fascinated that you could get paid to argue...

So you went to a top school, top grades, and got a cushy corporate job?

Or you roughhoused it for a few years until you could make a decent living?

So you chase wahmbulances? Have you ever?

Or did you do the "great law school, great grades, cushy job" route?

No matter where you go after school, unless you are a partners' son; there are no cushy jobs. You have to pay your dues.

Local School...decent grades. Got on with a small law firm doing labor union stuff and worker's comp. Love it. My first year I handled my own arbitrations, cases and hearings...no junior partner to have me do all the work while he gets all the praise...one of the benefits of small law practice...

27. Will likely quit my IT job in the next few weeks to finish up some pre-med classes and see where that takes me. Scariest decision I've ever made.
