Oh, no! What a potential tragedy. I'm glad you survived -- that's an achievement right there.

It's hard, though, isn't it, to choose what you want to do?

I don't know how old you are, but I'm 43, and one thing I've learned in the last few years, from watching the lives of people my age, is that nobody has a career. By the time people hit their forties, pretty much everybody is taking a different path, one way or another -- changing jobs/fields, changing their priorities because they have kids or changing their priorities because the kids are leaving home, moving in new directions.

So I don't know -- maybe it helps if you think of yourself as choosing a path for the next phase of your life, rather than choosing a path for the rest of your days until you're old and gray?
