Right Field?
Over the years I have expert that many people don't enjoy what they do for a living. I'm sure many people who are competent employees would totally excel with a different career. Paul Potts selling cell phones comes to mind. What if Michael Jordan would have been an insurance adjuster in place of of a basketball player? I'm sure he would have been great at what ever he chose to do, but we would have missed out on his basketball talents. At least he didn't stick with the baseball matter.
I'm sure there are many people who wish they could do something else for a living. I also have a feeling more of those buried desires are aimed at the entertainment application as opposed to the science field. I bet a lot more people strike out for Hollywood on a bus with their last 50 dollars hoping to catch a burst forth than people heading to MIT to see if they can become a scientist. Does that mean Hollywood has less substance if just about anyone who is ambitious enough could break into it regardless of their sense level or talent? I'd say yes.
Under the current economic conditions people should be grateful to have any job, but I am especially happy for people who like what they do for a living, regardless of what their work is. I think it's good advice to go into a field that you enjoy. By the way, if any of you happen to be looking for a medium performer for positions in the NBA, movie critic, comedian, or food critic...
