Remember When We All Wanted To Be Career Girls, Darlings?????????????????


                              Speaking for myself, I could not wait.  None of the pressures of school, with homework and deadlines.  Just straight nine to five, and then on to your real life.



                                Or so I thought.  Once ensconced in the work force it became a "grind."



                               Just look at the careers girls had to choose from.  My younger self might have opted for ballet, but I opted for the one in the middle, the librarian.  After all, I do wear glasses.



                               As much as nursing was in my blood, thanks to my mother and sister, I could not deal with bodily fluids, pricking someone with a needle, or advanced math and science.  So, maybe I did make the right choice after all.



                              Girls today have so many options.  Make the right choices, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                              And make sure to have a life after work.  Bag a husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I wanted to be a stenographer. I wasn’t even sure what that was, I just thought it sounded sophisticated!!!

  2. Victoria, I first heard of the word stenographer in a "Blondie" comic book. I too
    thought it was sophisticated. My early career aspirations were an artist--which
    I sort of became, a hat check girl, and to work in an office writing comedy, like
    on "The Dick Van Dyke" show.
