I have always had a love of books and was even a library aide for 2 years when I was in high school but I sort of feel into being a Records Manager... the Law Department was being formed for our Company after a Spin-off about 16 years ago and I happened to have had a couple Records Management courses in college so our HR department told the GC about me and after experiencing my first interview panel, they hired me and I have been a Records Manager since... Incidentally, they wanted someone with a Master degree in Library Science but none of those candidates wanted to start the law library and developing a Company Records Retention Program from the ground up for the pay that was being offered so they took a chance on me even though I had only an Associate Degree.  There were times that I thought I had made a serious error in career paths since it is a challenging field to say the very least but it has been a good fit for my talents.  Btw - I went on to get my BS degree in Business and am now taking classes in an MLIS program at SJSU so I suppose I have finally decided to stay in the field. LOL
