: : : : : : : How do you chose your profession or future profession? What influenced your decision? Did you have any career counciling to help you make your decision?
: : : : : : First question first. I accidentally came upon my profession. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and my parents helped me in my making process.
: : : : : Tell us how accidental came upon your profession.
: : : : I had worked two years as a Grounds Keeper supervisor. I really wasn't enjoying the job. I wanted to do something else. My mother and father were listening to me whining and my mother said "Why don't you be a nurse? You always want to take care of people." Voila, I am now a Nurse.
: : : As a male, were you encouraged to be a doctor or pharmicist since nursing has been stereoypically a female dominated profession?
: : No, that would have taken too long and my parents could not afford to foot the bill and neither could I. I had to go to the local 2-year college. Nursing was the only other program that I could entertain.
: When you have to maney, do you think that you will go back to get a Dr. degree?
No, that isn't where my interest lies. I think that I would make an excellent administrator and that is my goal.
