Wren,
I think entirely missed my point. It wasn't that you should have studied science or been a scientist. Rather, that I don't think it is a widespread problem that radically accelerated students grow into adults who are bored or unable to enjoy life in the workplace. Or, that keeping people with same age peers makes them have happier careers. Your story to me is an argument for good career counseling and for encouraging self awareness of what makes a person happy so they can make appropriate choices.
