What to do...

I've been brainstorming.

If I am going to dedicate the rest of my working life to a career, then the career I choose better be worthy of my life.

I want to make a difference, help people, enjoy myself, and lastly make enough money to survive.

I started out thinking that if I could be anything, no limits to time, money, etc., what would I want?

I would be a doctor, and I would want to join Doctors Without Borders.  Spend my life serving those in 3rd world countries who don't have access to medical care.

However...  James isn't on board with living in 3rd world countries... I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I'm sure my family also wouldn't want me spending my life in unstable countries with little access to communication...

That led to a discussion of what James wants to do, really wants to do...  and that led to our planning of our current *super secret project* which involves us becoming entrepreneurs.

If there is something that truly terrifies me, it is the thought of becoming an entrepreneur.   Don't ask me why.  But since I've spent my life fighting those things that scare me, I'm putting on a brave face.  Even though I would rather be a soldier in WWI.

So we're working on making that happen...

Meanwhile, I still have to figure out my dream.

On the Doctors Without Borders website...   YES, I know we already ruled that out...
On the Doctors Without Borders website they list the professions urgently needed:

    - Anesthesiologists/Nurse Anesthetists
    - HIV/AIDS and TB Specialists
    - Nurse Midwives/Certified Midwives
    - Obstetricians/Gynecologists
    - Pharmacists

Being a midwife would give me that fulfillment that I'm missing in accounting.  I know I wouldn't have any problems with any of the *bodily fluids* involved, and I would love to help women have more of a choice when it comes to birthing options.  I am also intellectually intrigued by this area of medicine.

Another option is definitely becoming an EMT.  Once again, I know I can handle the gore, and I know I keep a cool head in emergencies.  I have been self-educating in emergency medicine for at least 5 years (for the sake of preparedness).  I would love to learn more, and I would really enjoy being a first responder.  I would be ok with being on call and working graves as well.
