Dear Tramby,

First of all, did you complete your education in a subject that YOU actually LOVE and have a PASSION for, or is it a subject that you see as eventually “making a good income” so that you will have financial security?
Why I ask, is that I am much older than you and am able to be your grand mother. I look back and realize that I did not seek a profession that I would have been very happy doing, but rather one that gave me financial security.

Over the years, I have read where people who have actually gravitated toward “their heart’s desire” in life, their real passion, were the happiest, lived the longest, had fewer ailments, had fewer debts…those who were not looking for what we think is [financial] security. Also, that even though they made less money than those seeking financial gain, they tended to live within their means.

I guess hindsight really IS 20/20, because if I had the opportunity to “do it over again”, I definitely would do something that makes me very content…It took me all these years to find that out about myself, because “financial security” is a myth which brings many negatives to your life.
So in essence, maybe if you do desire a Masters Degree, now is the time to decide what makes you content and go for it without it having to be a “financial in-security”.
Happiness is your goal…everything else will follow. You will radiate joy when you do the’ thing’ that actually brings passion to your soul….I am beginning at this late stage of the game to find my passion, because there isn’t a “do-over” as far as I am concerned.

Think about it Tramby. Maybe you would love to become an actress, or an artist, or a singer…do what is in your heart, not what you’ve been told “you’d be good at”.

Peace & Happiness always
