I'm in the process of learning this very lesson, and it's a hard one. All the best.

Nothing is set in stone when it comes to ourselves and our decisions. I sure understand what you said about the young girl and her desire to be a surgeon- you do have to do something to attain a goal and the route many take goes the wrong direction! Oh, I sorta think I need to resent the 62 year old remark- I'm going to be 62 in November!

All college seniors, all asking these questions. All unsure about what to committ themselves to or what it will take, and all feeling the pressure of parents and professors trying to tell them just what consitutes an "acceptable" committment or way of life. What a great wondow you provide into the challenges of discernment. You really ought to submit this one to your local paper's business and women's sections.<br><br>http://mailserver.pts.edu/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-6886951621971289842008-08-20T21:05:00.000-07:002008-08-20T21:05:00.000-07:00Great post, as usual.

I keep thinking, most of us will live into our seventies, why on earth are we trying to get kids to decide what they're going to do with their lives when they're thirteen. Except that it gets them out and being "productive" ASAP. Doesn't seem to make for happy people though. <br><br>JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-23914111003637461702008-08-22T06:45:00.000-07:002008-08-22T06:45:00.000-07:00Settle for owning a restaurant huh?

Very, very few. So to make that lifetime choice at that age really is ludicrous. Unfortunately, the pace of life usually won't wait for a young person to "find themselves". Rent, insurance, food, utilites....the bills won't wait for us to figure it out. So we fall in....somewhere, college educated or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
