I am in my 40s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

For real though, I had a variety of jobs when I got out of school. I went into the military, went to college for something that I didn't want to do, worked in several fields, fell into a job in technology, went back to school, and I'll retire doing this unless something drastically changes.
