No.  I wanted to drive trains, but my Father told me that ladies didn't do that, which of course they didn't in those days. 

I couldn't work in my chosen field after taking my first degree simply through ill health.  Then marriage and children took up a good slice of my time.  I finally went to business college because I discovered I quite like admin and think that a professional qualification is a good thing.  I have had very few jobs, but they have been absolutely fabulous.  I have worked with some truly high-fliers and have learned a great deal about business.  More recently I have returned to study and completed law school, so I'm starting on the next segment of my career.

So, did I want to be an admin?  No, but it sure got me places I wouldn't have gone otherwise.
