  • Part of the Show

    I don’t consider myself in the career market. I’m sure there are plenty of people who go into career based on a strong understanding of self, having pursued education to qualify them for a job they can climb the ranks of,  fulfilling them, providing for them and leading them to a comfortable well earned retirement…

  • Somewhere in Between

    I heard (or read? Maybe it was a TED talk) every 10 years of adulthood, you are a completely different person than you were 10 years prior. It was implied that what comes before that, in your highschool/early college I’m-legally-an-adult-but-not-really years, nothing is set in stone yet. I think the generally accepted term is “finding…
