When I was growing up, around the age of 14/15, there was a group of us 
girls sitting around and dreaming about what wonderful riches we would 
have when we "grew up". It was the usual thing, a HUGE house, servants, 
lots of clothes and jewels etc..... 
One of my friends pointed out how we would have to set out to find 
ourselves rich husbands to provide all this for us. It was at this moment 
(and due to some recent letdowns in my young life), that I decided that I 
was NOT going to rely on someone else to provide for all my wants. That 
the only way I was going to be assured of getting what I wanted, was to go 
out and get it for myself. So thats when I knew I had to get a good, rich 
job. Thats why I'm going to be an engineer.(well, not All the reasons..)
The thing is, that was a crucial turning point in my life, something 
snapped, and it all happened within this on minute and I completely 
remember it all. I just wondered if anybody else has had any experiences 
like that, and of what has motivated the rest of you into doing what you 
are doing at the moment, or have chosen to do in your futures.
