[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fabulous that you found something you love, and are good at, that pays well: that is the definition of living up to your potential. If you're happy now and not worried about job security / retirement (which would be my only hang-up about sales), then you are doing great. When we're in school, we all think we're going to grow up to be big shots, usually in fields that fit neatly into academic boxes. "I get A's in science, therefore I will discover the cure for cancer," that kind of thing. Personally, I was going to be a Supreme Court Justice. Then life happens and our priorities change -- e.g., a need for flexibility that you never imagined, or a family reason to stay in a small town. And as PP said, our interests/strengths change too -- turns out I don't actually [i]like [/i]Constitutional law, nor am I much good at it. But I have a "small" career and a happy family life and I feel very blessed.[/quote]
