Technically, I suppose, if nobody can recall who I am, then I can successfully pass myself off as new. So welcome to the boards, Music Man!

Then my mission is a failure, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
It was your signature that sparked my memory, I always loved it...lol!
hi and welcome to the pleasure dome!!:)
Hey, I dunno if you remember me as well as I remember you but we've had a few chats. It's great that you're back. :-)
hey, welcome !
yey!!! :D
Yes, I remember all of you, but I had been absent for a really long time, so it would have been quite understandable if I were to have been unrecognizable. Well, I'm going to college in the fall, so I suppose there will be another long absence from me in the near future, and I'm still debating whether I should be a businessman or a lawyer (either way I'll be majoring in Business Administration in my first four years). What do the bulk of you think?
Neither; we have too many businessmen and lawyers in the world as it is.
Then again, if it's money you're after, you've probably got it pegged about right.

I'm just looking for a job that I would really enjoy doing. If I make a lot of money doing it, then fantastic.
But how are there too many businessmen or lawyers? If there truly were, that would contradict your point of monetary gain, as an overpopulated profession would inevitably lead to less demand, and thus less pay.
And if I wanted money, wouldn't I rather be a surgeon?

Not really. Businessmen and Lawyers essentially create their own resources, in contrast to teachers where they can only fill up existing demand. It's much easier for a businessman to start his own business than it is for a teacher to start his own school, for a slightly over the top example of what I mean.
But my overall point, made in a slightly sarcastic tone, is to be open minded when you start school. If being a lawyer or businessman is what you think will make you happy, then great. From my own experience with college students, however, I've never been that impressed with those who enter college convinced of their future career.

Not with the cost of malpractice insurance these days (which one could argue was another case of Lawyers creating their own revenue stream).

It's very recently that I've begun to open my mind to possible future careers. Until recently, I had always assumed I was going to be an engineer. Engineering is the stereotypical "you are good at math, so you should go into this" major that had always been inculcated into my mind. Suddenly I realized that I don't want to be an engineer. Sounds simple, really, but it took a while to settle.
Leadership roles and decision making are what had led to my decision of a Business Administration major. The fact is, I'm not convinced of my career, but I do have a slight predilection to the two said careers. One thing I do know is that I am likely to enter graduate school, and I am doing my best to prepare for that. Having a direction to take would be the best way for me to make the most out of my first four years of college.
But your wisdom and criticism can only help, I suppose, so if you would elaborate on your experiences with college students, I would listen with an open mind.
