I was bewailing my fear,
and in response Keturah passed comment that:
they hand out a dose of the fear with a college degree
that or before that they hand out enough work to keep you preoccupied enough not to notice.
I remain of the romantic persuasion that any "future career" should not act to blind me of my responsibilties, my concerns, my preoccupations, but should satisfy them.
Our time on this world is short enough, I figure, that it should not be spent on worthless pursuits... Where worth is an entirely personal and essentially transient quality; immeasurable from any other standpoint.
But then that's me for you.
Am I being unrealistic or, better/worse yet ("reality is what you can get away with" - name that quote!) unreasonable?
Tell me what you would really like to be paid to do?
Next question:
Why does sex necessarily seem to complicate matters?
Or is that just me?
As Rainwolfkin uttered:
sometimes words aren't what you need. Quite.
Ou non?

i agree with your sentiments about careers. i just want to spend my life doing something that i see as meaningful. it'd be much easier if i actually believed in traditional meaning providing activities or ideologies, like religion or something...
