   Your note was so long, I thought it better to reply to the different parts in   
   different messages.

   Mike Rowe should have dispelled that idea by now.   
      
   For most of us, our careers evolve over time.   
      
   I knew I wanted to go into computers at 13 and worked toward that.  But   
   computers in what?  I've bopped from warehousing systems, to engine control   
   systems, to medical systems.   
      
   Yes, it's a paycheck. That's why we work.  And since we spend a good chunk of   
   our day there, it'd be nice if we enjoyed that work.  And, over time, we should   
   get better and better.  Which makes us more valuable.  Which gets us a better   
   job, and so on.   
      
   But sometimes what we originally trained for is not what we ended up with.  But   
   all through that, we should be using our current knowledge and experience to   
   springboard into that next step.   
      
   Heck, if things go the way I think, I may end up teaching before I retire.
