[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]'07 English major, graduated from a wholly unremarkable school (I love to learn, but was never a diligent student). I bartended, then went on to receive several yoga certficications, and now work as a yoga teacher. I have also: always made enough money to pay my bills and enjoy life, made amazing friends everywhere I've lived, bounced around the US and lived internationally, volunteered my time to many wonderful organizations, [b]married a great guy[/b], and (I think this is important) really enjoyed my work.

I get it, I'm a DC native, and it's a super work-and-image-obsessed culture, and one that does not encourage free-spiritedness nor taking the road less traveled. But there are no guarantees in life - there's no "fool safe" career (or life!) trajectory. Divorces, layoffs, illness, tragedy and general ennui can propel us in radical and unexpected directions at any given time. I've met ex-lawyers who make money slinging drinks, and lowly (!) liberal arts majors who've made it big in journalism, graphic design, non-profits (etc.). There's luck, connections, charm, and a whole host of other factors that determine success - or lack thereof - over which we have woefully little control.

Bottom line: support your son's dreams and ambitions. Allow him the space to learn, explore, and (yes) to make mistakes. He will find his way, as we all do.[/quote]

How much is that "great guy" making it possible for you to teach yoga?  Does OP's son need to snag himself a great gal?
