[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I have to disagree with all the people who are saying this is no problem. First of all, I do think you are doing amazingly well, making a good income and saving. However, being a nanny is just not a good plan for living a comfortable independent life for the long term. This is not about needing the corner office at a Fortune 500 company but it is about developing skills that will set you apart and also preparing for a time when you are older and might want a less physical job. You are very honest about not being a career focused person. However, work is a huge part of life and it will not serve you well to drift like this. To all the posters who are saying there is no need to pursue anything else because entry level jobs pay less, that is also extremely short sighted. By those standards, no one would ever go to med school because you lose a decade of income.

Clearly your BF is not in a position to judge you. And of course, you are well ahead of many other people who earn a lot and spend it all. But I am skeptical that you will be happy ... or secure ... doing this long term.

Oh, and while I hate to admit it, there is some truth to the fact that, right or wrong, others may judge you by your profession. Not saying they should, or that this should bother  you. But they will and it is real.

Think of the old wake up at 40 cliché. Will you have regrets? Will you think it is too late to try something else? Somthings to think about[/quote]
