1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not?: Software engineer. And yes, this is what I thought I would be doing at this point in my life. That's what I got my degree for, right?

2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?: Taking pictures. Getting paid for my obsession/compulsion would be awesome!

3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?: Teacher and graphic designer. Nope...no influence. (unchanged)

4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?: Not yet...and I hope I'll never have to choose between a family and a career but that's not very realistic. In an ideal world, I'd just have to put a career on hold and would be able to jump back into it at a later point =\ We'll see.

5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?: Easiest job in the world? Doing something you love. Hardest? Doing something you hate. Enough said. (unchanged)
