[quote=Anonymous]I'm a librarian. I like what I do just fine, and the career is well suited for my personality and skill set. The salary pays the bills; I'll never be rich, but I'm comfortable with my income + DH's. But I wouldn't say I'm passionate about it, and I doubt I'll ever be. It's a job, nothing more.

I wonder where things would've been if I'd pursued my first love: singing. I could never hack it as a Broadway or opera singer; I don't have that type of voice, and doubt I could be trained as such. However, I have a great deal of choral and solo singing experience in all types of groups, singing in different languages, and have a solid background in music theory, pitch and ear training. Perhaps I could've made a career out of it - cantoring, leading church choirs, and/or participating as a paid singer in chamber or early music groups. I currently do some of that on a volunteer basis but would love to do more. Maybe I will look into it as a second career, once my kids are older and I may have more flexibility with not sticking to a strictly 9-5 M-F job.[/quote]
