Do You Guys Like Your Jobs? Really? Come On, Be Honest.

Well, I didn't figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up until I 
was 34.  Five years later, I'm still working toward that, but having 
the goal makes it all so much easier.  One of my architecture 
professors is a woman who also decided to go into this field when 
she was in her mid-thirties, and she was raising a son by herself.  
One of the largest design firms in Philly has a principal who is a 
woman who went to architecture school after she already had five 
kids to raise.  I love being able to look up to these other women 
(in a field still dominated very much by men) as my inspiration.  
They've shown me that it's never too late to discover or follow your 
dream.
