So my dad said I would do very well as a minstrel, but unfortunately for us those jobs don't exist anymore, lol.
At least in me, I think giftedness has caused a bit of a paralysis -- like, if I want to study most subjects, I can crank out a graduate level text and academic papers and get up to speed, so it ends up being more about interest than about ability.
Was your father referring to your musical talents and perhaps also to your wandering spirit? Minstrels composed songs, from their observations and reflections. Your posts suggest that you have spent time similarly mentally engaged. As a musician, have you delved much into composition?
