...who would you be?
This was how we opened up a recent client meeting to "break the ice." Some people said a superhero, others said a writer or a sports hero.
If I had it to do over again, I'd be a doctor.
At the time (early twenties), I didn't think I had what it takes. The many hours of studying (which I witnessed firsthand in my sister, Vetmommy), the long hours of rounds...but now I know, if you are determined and put your mind to it, you can do almost anything.
So, readers and lurkers, who (or what) would you be?

I would be a radiologist. That way, I could keep my favorite job -- mom at home -- and still help people by analyzing their images via computer.
I'd also like to be a travel writer. Focusing on spas across Europe! One can dream, right? ;)
How interesting that you guys would both go medical. I think I'd pick the same thing again - either a veterinary or medical doctor. Nothing else seems important enough - important enough to dedicate your life to, to spend time away from your family, or as important to the patients - they really need you, and they need you to be your best.
If I could be something else, maybe a chef? But, its so demanding, so much pressure, and the hours totally suck. I much prefer to be my family's personal chef, as an avocation. Travel writing would be great. I was rereading my stuff from our last European trip, and it is so easy to be inspired to write when so much new stuff is happening all around you.
I think I would love to be a musician - cello, violin, piano. Of course, I would need talent (talk about dreaming) but I think it would be lovely to bring joy to others through music.
Love, M
Someone who knows what she's doing...
