When I was in high school, I wanted to be on Broadway. Specifically, I wanted to play Christine in The Phantom of the Opera.
When I realized how impossible that was, I wanted to be a theater teacher.
When I realized I wasn't insane enough to major in theater, I wanted to be a music teacher.
When I discovered that there was no way I would be able to get through the music program at my college (mostly because I had an Associate's and hadn't started the music thing as a freshman), I switched to English.
So now I'm an English teacher.
I'm still working, though; I'm applying to doctoral programs, and I want to be a tenured professor. AND a writer (professionally; I write, so I'm a writer, but I want to get PAID for it).
