>>22838683I wanted to be an ecologist. Planned most of my high school classes around it, even took Latin classes so I could do better with organic chemistry and anatomy.
Somewhere along the line, I completely lost interest. I think I just realized that I didn't have the patience for fieldwork and the job prospects weren't great. I didn't want to spend hours writing grant proposals and research papers. Sometimes I still think about how cool my high school science teacher was, though. I really looked up to that guy.
