[quote=Anonymous]This is painful and embarrassing to admit but ... I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  I was a SAHM to two kids that are now getting older and in elementary.  I find myself rather aimless during the day after I go to the gym and run errands.  I am extremely blessed in that if I choose not to work, I don't have to (I have money independent of DH so I am not reliant on him or his salary.)  But I do want to do more. I think I have a lot to offer, I have my masters, I have done the office job thing before but didn't love it (but does anyone?).  I also wasn't excited about my career field before having kids which is why I gladly stayed home with them. Now I have to figure out what to do with my life - I am worried about being aimless and lost.  I also feel it is silly at my age to go back to school and start from scratch at a new career.  Have any of you been in my shoes or have ideas?  And please go easy on me, I know I am lucky, but I also hate feeling empty.  I do also currently volunteer and donate to causes close to my heart.  Maybe this is the start of a midlife crisis? I hope not!   [/quote]
