QUICK: What do (or did) you want to be when you grow up?!?

Me? I went to college for five years and worked my tail off to earn a BS in Microbiology with a medical micro emphasis. Then, I went for TWO more years for an MBA!  If you had told me back then that I’d be a photographer & industry educator in Charlotte, NC, I would have laughed and laughed and laughed some more. I was NOT the creative type & had never wanted to own my own business. And now?!?! Absolute CRAZYTOWN. The complete opposite of what I thought I would be doing with my life. BUT .....I love working as a Senior Photographer and living in the Lake Norman and Charlotte areas.

So tell me in the comments: 1) what’s your dream job and how are you gonna get there or 2) what would you be in an alternate reality if you weren’t doing what you are now?
