[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm like this. I'm still a productive member of society.  I love people, and they love me.  And in my late 40s my random hobbies came together into a new career for me. And a decade later i'm traveling the world as the foremost expert on this subject. I needed the breadth of knowledge before the depth of experience could happen. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing. What was your occupation before the new career? Did you get good grades in school and college, at least in subjects you liked? Were you good at your old job? If you don’t mind me asking [/quote]

In both high school and college I had a 3.5 taking random classes that interested me but not a rigorous course. My EC if you can call it that was playing in a garage band. In my 20s I worked retail at boutiques. I was a bartender and cook. I airways liked my colleagues but never really my jobs. I went to law school (night school) in my 30s. I only lasted 2 years at a firm and went back to food and beverage.

I guess looking back, I liked being around people and on some sort of stage even if i wasn't good at anything at first.

Thank you so much, I think this is the most relevant (if optimistic!) scenario for what I was asking. The young people I talked about are also not great not terrible at school or if they are out of school they work random jobs. I hope they find what works for them, like you did! [/quote]
