This post struck some notes with me. Some sweet and some sour. It's not due to anything the blog owner said, of course, it's what it made me think of my own situation. My daughter wants to be a writer. Like a designer, a writer has a career "hinged on moments of huge luck". Because of this, she has decided to go into a field where she can get a job right away, while she is waiting to become rich and famous from being a writer. So, this was the sweet note. My son on the other hand, wants to be a computer game designer. (Oh no, there's that word designer...) He doesn't have a fall-back plan. I think this is a field where he, too, will have to rely on "moments of huge luck" to be successful. You've guessed it, this is the sour note. The upside of it, though, is that he is only 11 years old. There's still hope. I loved reading someone else's insight. Thank you! Peggy
