Default Re: Did anyone have to give up one or two goals in life due to financial restriction

[quote=Bookie]I've pretty much given up hoping for a career as a millionaire playboy. I don't think I can stay up that late any more.

Oh, the sacrifice you made!

I think I would have made a different career choice. I enjoy teaching, but looking back on it, my parents pushed me into it since I didn't think I wanted to be a nurse. They were older and wanted me to get a job they considered stable. I did get a few scholarships, but still had to work to get through college. I would have loved to have gone through law school, but that was out of the question.

After I married and did my graduate work, I still would have loved to go through law school, but changing careers didn't seem like an option. My husband was thinking about retiring in a few years so we didn't think we could afford law school.
