Throughout my life I've always thought that I wanted to work with kids, but at this point I'm wondering if that's really true. I'm still very interested in children including child development and things like that, but I wonder if having my own children will take care of that desire. It's hard to determine if my desire to work with children is actually tied into my eagerness to have my own children. If that is true then there's really a whole world of other things that I can do with my life. Is there any way to figure this out without having kids? I don't know. Basically, I think that my desire to have children is somewhat hindering my search for what I should do with my life. So, my next step is to think more about working with children and finding a list of every job possible. =) Maybe that can be my job, organizing a list of every job available.

Your interest in "working with kids" might very well be the result of wanting a little gentleman of your own. BUT, your interest in the more scientific, conceptual aspects of child development, illnesses, etc. seems to be a lot more objective.
For instance:
You might have gotten into social work for more motherly, sentimental reasons like "helping the kiddos," but the things you end up talking about after work are the interesting medical problems you encounter during the day.
This too could be dismissed as your innate motherly desire to know as much as you can before bearing a miniature gentleman, but isn't it more than that?
