In response to "you ever think about actuarial work?" by TFox

Yeah, I don't know why I went for that degree. Math always came really easily to me but it was boring.

I guess I took the easy way out and went for it because I knew I'd just breeze through. I should have went for something I actually enjoyed doing because I hate crunching numbers all day. I was offered a number of jobs in the hospital but I don't want to be an accountant or an actuary or anything like that.

I was thinking I'd teach. Summers off sounded awesome. Teaching in the public schools here is terrible. Private pays shit. So that was out.

I'm getting too old to not have a career and I'm may end up having to suck it up.

I like working the hospital so I'm leaning towards a career in the medical field. Obviously not a doctor. :-)
