oh! one thing i forgot, and HK mentioning passion just jogged it for me. when i was young, my big passion was teaching, which was kiboshed by my (amazing, yet completely jaded) teacher mother, so i never got to go to school for it.
however, i've been passionate about teaching my whole life, and now because of homeschooling, i get to do it every day. sometimes our passions come and get us, even if we think we've let them go (which is another great reason not to slam any academic doors - who knows which skills you'll eventually need?)
