While growing up, some people want to be astronauts, police officers, race car drivers, teachers, doctors, nurses, or even cowboys. Me? I wanted to be an FBI profiler.

Of course, our first career choices don't always work out. We either grow out of them or later find that they aren't suitable for us.

The career tests that I took in high school pinned me as the brainy, quiet, creative type - perfect for a writer, but not so much for an FBI agent.

While what I do may not be as exciting as chasing down scary, crazy bad guys every day, it really is the perfect career for me.

Of course, I'm one of the lucky ones. Some aren't so lucky. You've probably heard it a thousand times or more…

• "I hate my job!"

• "I don't make enough money."

• "My career isn't challenging enough."

• "My job is too difficult for me."

• "I'm bored with my career."

T hese are the laments are uttered by countless people each and every day. In fact, recent studies show that over half of Americans are unhappy with their jobs and careers.
