Many students don't know what career direction to take, and some know well in advance what they want to do as a profession. However, sometimes a topic comes up in the classroom that sparks interest. Or, something a teacher says or quotes, that causes you to feel a connection.
These are pivotal moments. I am wondering if anyone has had an experience that led you to an occupation you had not previously considered.
When I went back to college as an adult, I took some pre-law classes thinking perhaps I would train to be a paralegal. In one evening class we had a guest speaker. The speaker was a private investigator, on the job for several years. I listened to every word she said. It was obvious that she loved her job.
That was it for me. I approached her after her lecture. She remained a mentor for a long time.
Anyone else influenced?
