for the young ladies out there that want to someday have a job like yours do you have any suggestions on where they should start

For certain fields like medicine, law, science, computer programming/development and accounting, a college degree with an internship in the field is a good place to start. (The internship is very important in gaining necessary job experience.) Most of these also have continuing education requirements once you are in the field, so you also want to do your research starting early. Besides, you want to be able to know more about whichever companies you hope to interview with. For computer programming related fields, a degree in computer science is often required. Check out the job requirements on the career site for jobs you would like to have.

thats some good info @SimsILikeSims

Thanks, and no problem! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Jan. 1994. I knew people who went into these fields, some with pre-med degrees, some with computer science degrees, some with business or accounting degrees, some who became nurses or teachers, and some with pre-law degrees. I've been through the interview process with companies, unfortunately before the internet was advanced enough to let me properly research companies. (Back then, we used Lynx, a text browser - no pictures, no sound, and certainly no videos). Then Opera, Internet Explorer, and Netscape came along. It still took a half hour to load a web page with pictures. However, we were all using modems, and the maximum bandwidth you can get with a modem that connects to a phone line (since there were no DSL modems or cable modems for the most part available to ordinary consumers) is 56K. So downloading one MP3 of size 5 MB took literally an hour, sometimes two, in the mid-90s. And if you were dumb enough to try to download a program file or a zip file, you usually got a virus. My computer even got viruses from sharing floppy disks from infected computers.
