My Business Career Path

In ten years, I'm not exactly sure what I want to be doing. I know that I DON'T want to be back at home. I know that I do want to be working, hopefully making enough money to live comfortably. I don't mind having to deal with people on a daily basis, but I don't like sitting at a desk all day, unless the work I'm doing is new and interesting. I don't want to be working in the store, doing retail or managing, etc. I want to be at the corporate level, working my 9am - 5pm job, five days a week. After almost five years of school, I have thought about going in a line of work where I wouldn't even be using my college degree. The job I've been looking into is Guardian ad Litem work. It deals with kids and the court system, whether they be juvenile delinquents or children involved in their parents' divorce. I would basically give my recommendation on what should happen to those children to the court after doing some family background digging, interviewing, etc. This is a state trained program. Initially, you pay the state to train you for eighty hours, and once your training is complete and you've become certified, they pay you back and you are able to begin your career. This is just an option that I've considered. I haven't seen a job, as of yet, that has really jumped out at me as something that I would like to be doing for the rest of my life, so that continues to be a daily search.
