I discovered in my midlife that I had a lot of potential careers I’d be good at, which was completely different than the careers I wanted as a kid.
I really wanted to be an astronaut, and my dad was actually in the space program during and after the Apollo program. But my field independence sucks and I’m prone to motion sickness, so no space travel for me.
On the other hand, I’m awesome at research and connecting seemingly unrelated facts, so I could have been a brilliant CIA analyst. I suck at languages, though, which is a requirement for entry.
