Ha, if it was only so simple. You have to have an income. And working for someone else will never make me happy. I'm of the kind that doesn't know what kind of work would make me happy. So I went into accounting. Pays good but its boooring. I don't want to look back at my life when I retire and think 'damn I made alot of money for my boss these past 40 years'. I don't think I'll ever be happy with working for someone elses company. But I don't have many options since I have back problem cuased by weight lifting. Can't stand for more that 40 minutes or it really starts to hurt. I'd like to do something in the video game or movie industry and I'd love to work outside aslong as its not physical labour but you don't just find jobs like that (it isn't even a job, more of an interest).
In your case Nina, I envy you since you know what you want. Hell, you even have 2 options that can make you happy. I personally don't enjoy my job but I like the money. I work to live. Other people live to work and can find happiness in their job. Depends on which category you belong too.
