I...I love your orange chair and writing spot!! :)<br /><br />I could definitely relate to this post. I also was always looking forward. The times I *thought* I found a career path I could stay on for a while, I realized I didn't want to be on that path after all. I think we discussed this already, but I was a teacher too.

(Hmm... I'm realizing now that I was AFRAID of getting really good at signing (my teachers often told me I was quite good and I knew I was better than a lot of my classmates). I was AFRAID of putting myself in new and uncertain interpreting situations, b/c I might misinterpret something or not understand the client and make a fool out of myself...hm... this ust hit me, and I'm just coming off of reading your last blog about being afraid to succeed, interesting).<br />Anyway...now I'm working at a florist and writing, where I feel "safe." I'm actually realizing as I type this that I stopped pursuing interpreting out of fear. I could have sought a job NOT in a school, but I was afraid.
