Foot.That is the longest post I have ever read of yours.

I wish people could follow their bliss!

My son is great at statistics. It is a matter of finding where in the world that fits and in this economy which MBA will accommodate.


Without an BA/ MBA it's just a great hobby.

( sorry for the hijack. I know you were responding to shaw)

I wish someone would find their sweet spot. If I could see or hear of an example, I might think the educational degree is the road to happiness.

This reminds me. I did watch a movie yesterday on lifetime. It was called, Homeless to Harvard. True story of a girl named Liz Murray.

She found the sweet spot, but most of us don't have amazing life stories that win us a scholarship to Harvard.

And quite a good post it was.

I realize that I am not completely fulfilled. I would love to be a writer, but I'm not. I would love to paint, but I can't. I would love to have the eye of a photographer, but I don't.

I have no bliss to follow, no talent to hone. Perhaps that is my big obstacle in life, what keeps me from being truly happy. I see the beauty in the arts, I am able to appreciate it all...but I have no contributions to make.

I'm a jill of all trades, a mistress of none.

Or it could be my mid-life talking.
