The age-old question continues unanswered

So, I was just thinking about how when we're little, adults ask us what we want to be when we grow up. I envy those who knew then and have not wavered from that decision. As you can probably guess, I changed my mind somewhere along the line and now I don't know what I want to do. While job searching, I've been able to figure out what I don't want to do, but I'm still not sure what exactly I want to do. I don't want to: teach, be a sales representative. Ok, so I guess I didn't even narrow it down that much. But it seems like I have because SO MANY of the jobs that the job sites show are in sales. I wouldn't be opposed to doing SOME sales, I guess, but I don't want to do ONLY sales. yuck.

But anyways, I was on the college version of monster.com and noticed 2 interesting things: 1) A few of the jobs I looked at required several years of experience. Umm...this is for college students and recent graduates...as far as I know, recent graduates don't have 5 years of experience. 2) You have to put your birthday in when you register for it, and you can apparently register as long as you're 125 years old or younger, as the year options begin at 1885. I mean, seriously? NO ONE born in 1885 is still alive. I'm pretty sure. If he or she is alive, there's a new record for oldest person...according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest person was almost 115 years old, so someone born in 1885 would pass them up by 10 years! So, theoretically, it's possible...but would he/she be a recent college grad? Not likely.
