Dear Wisdom:

I like your thinking, thinking what will be suited for you!

Debt terrifies you- then your plans for your future should not include debt.

Then figure out what it means to be comfortable, how much money that requires. If your needs, like mine, are modest, it does not take that much money! It is only one person you need to support, yourself. If modest living is good enough for you, it will not be that much money that you need to make.

Then about enjoying the work: it would be nice if you could spend some time as a volunteer in a kindergarten for a few days and get the feel of it, see if you enjoy it: if it interests you, if the time passes quickly because you are engaged.

You can study to be certified as a kindergarten teacher and take an acting class at the same time, see how you feel about acting in the class.

So you get to experiment: you volunteer in a kindergarten (no pay) and experiment that way: how does it feel? You take an acting class and experiment: how does that feel?

You don’t have to decide here and now what you will do for the rest of your life (I don’t see how that is possible)- you try this, try that, see how it feels, and move from there.

What do you think?
