How did you figure out what you want to be when you grew up?

Ok, I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question... and I know that at almost 40, I probably should have this all figured out, but I don't. The job I have had for the last 13 years, along with every other job I have had, are things that I just kind of fell into or took for lack of anything better. This job I have now may last another year or so, but that's probably it. So now I have to figure out what kind of job I want to look for when this runs its course.

So how did you guys all decide what you wanted to do?

This is a question that has been stressing me out lately, too. When I tell people that I am trying to finish my degree, the automatic question is , "What do you want to be?" and all I know to answer is, "A College Graduate." I have no clue what I want to be. I do think this whole process will help me figure it out a little though. I know I definitely don't[I][/I] want to be a nurse or a psychologist. So I've narrowed it down a little.
