    I didn't know what I wanted but I lucked out and literally stumbled into a gem who I have been with officially for 32 years. She must have liked my long hair, mismatched clothes, hippie politics and lack of direction. Kinda like brInging a straggly starving filthy dog home. A fixer upper project. I'm almost completely rehabilitated now, a few fough edges but loyal.

    Picked a major my senior year of high school and stuck with it.

    Daughter has switched majors once (as a freshman), then added a minor, then made the minor a second major.

    I never changed my major (Biology) during my undergrad years. I started college with the plan of a career in entomology, and got the chance to work in a couple of labs. But the more I saw of academic life, the less I thought it was for me. The petty politics, the constant scramble for funding, the conformity to a sort of social/political orthodoxy didn't seem like the stuff of a well-lived life. I finished school and got an Air Force commission through ROTC, so I decided to get an MBA and a Masters in Accounting while I served in the military so I'd have some earning power in civilian life. It worked out pretty well for me, in terms both of money and personal satisfaction.
