It will find you soon. I found it when I was 37.

fresh, some advice. Many of us HAVE to work. If we sit around waiting for the job we love, we're not going to be pulling in too many paychecks. In this "terrible terrible economy" you take a job, try it out and (best advice my dad ever gave me, besides having me get a summer job at 13) ALWAYS KEEP LOOKING. You never know what will turn up.

Of course, I'm not saying dive into sales. We aren't all meant for all things. I found out I suck at sales immediately after college. Not only did I suck at it, going to work made me sick to my stomach, I hated it so much. So, it wasn't for me.

But, you have to make some money, don't you? Gone are the days of 30 years in to out. People change jobs these days, whether by choice or circumstance beyond their control.

Unless you have a big trust fund, of course. Then by all means, loll about waiting for the perfect job. And send me your address.
