One regret I don't have any more.

I used to sometimes regret that I didn't go into Journalism. A few years ago, seeing what a sham the “journalism” in this country is, I decided I was glad I didn’t go into it.

Well, that’s ONE regret out of the way….:-)

1. Same here, I still like newspapers and reading them.

But now...and people still tell me I should be a teacher. What? In California?! Ha, no way. I made A's in college journalism and thought I missed the boat. Now look at all the college grads without jobs because there aren't any. I'm not a young spring chicken anymore so I feel if I were laid off my prospects would not be good at all 'cause employers want younger people.

3. I'm not a young spring chicken anymore either.

Once I started a thread about jobs/professions where age discrimination isn't so bad. Somebody suggested teaching, but I can't say, not having experience in that area.

2. Aside from any other issues, it's not a good biz to be in these days
