The path from assistant personnel manager to owner of a dance studio was a long and winding one! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

ET, glad yo hear your daughter is now in a job that is working out well for her. I had never heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, but it sure makes a lot of sense! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

It's great to be able to do what you love, but also important to love what you do..... in other words, whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability. There is a satisfaction in doing a job well that really helps, even if it's not your "dream" job. I wanted to be a nurse. When my first husband and I got married, I was in training, but I didn't want to be a new wife and mother, and be in school, so I quit. I thought I would go back in a year or two. It turned out to be 13 years, several babies, and a few part time jobs later before I made it, but I never stopped working towards that goal. Each job I had met a need (as ET said) and I learned a lot along the way about people and work ethics that helped me to be the kind of nurse I wanted to be. It's good to keep the goal to reach that job, but sometimes people also find their idea of what they wanted when they were young might change. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I know what you mean. It's a sorry state of affairs when baiting is praised as amusing. There are a lot of blogs on here that I've stopped reading because of their tendency to be inflammatory. A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I wanted to be a social worker but unfortunately my mother knew of one that got hooked on drugs so she was against it. I loved computers so got my business degree in computers and became a computer programmer but that didn't work out. Long story. So i went the practical route and got an accounting degree and designation. I have had the worst timing ever so that didn't work out either. I found accounting didn't let me be creative the way computer programming did. I did other remote sales jobs that i did well but each one had an issue like pay changed to less than minimum wage and one job they eliminated our group. So, I ended up being a phone sex operator (sorry if that offends you) and erotica author. I have enjoyed both. Basically I am saying that being practical does not always work out but bills do need to get paid so one should try it first.  Elaine Shuel

Do what you do to the best of your ability and if you love what you do that's a real bonus.  Pearls, interesting blog, and great comment from Mrsjoe

I didn't go to University but I went to a technical school. My oldest sister was 30 when she decided to go into nurses training. She went to a college in West Virginia to pick up what courses she needed to take nurses training. When she went back to Canada after finishing nurses training she had to write a test to get her license in Canada. I always admired her for doing that. So you are never too old.
