After graduating with a degree in accounting, I spent a month as an auditor for a large tire company....HATED IT!

Decided then to only do for a living what I would do for fun.

Sadly, many people spend their whole lives doing things they didn't spend as much time deciding than buying a new pair of tires. They enter the workforce and take the first available job. Then, the kids and bills start and they spend their working lives trying to keep their head above water.

The happy people I know are doing what they love. In some instances, there are sacrifices (think full-time musicians)but they wouldn't have it any other way. The secret is to figure out how to make a GOOD living doing what you love and are good at. Even then, there are compromises. I would rather not write copy about circuit breakers or take photos of air conditioners, but I'm working in the graphics, photography and communications field and I REALLY LIKE IT..even after all these years. I don't look forward to playing Misty tonight, but guess what...I'm STILL PLAYING, even after all these years.

Do what excites you! Believe me, it will work out fine!

Best personal regards,


Russ
