The big lie, the glamorous career. By the time we hit our thirties we find out that a job, even when it is fun, is just a job. Terribly useful when it comes to paying for holidays, shoes, the rent, food, that sort of thing, but it's not really the stuff of soul. In the back of our minds is this nagging question: when we decided to throw our lot in with careers and to hell with everything else, did we lose something?
It's my party and I'll knit if I want to! by Sharon Aris
Is it a worry then, that I realised this about my job before I turned 27?

nah, you're just an early bloomer :)
thanx for the quote link to this book
I went to school with Sharon - looks like she's doing well with her publishing career
LOL - that's a sad thing to bloom early for! :)
You really went to school with her? Wow!
I'm really enjoying the book. Then again, it could simply be coz of vested interest....hee hee..
hm, is it a worry then that I'm 29 and I haven't had that glamourous career yet? therefore will I only discover this enlightening tidbit when I'm tottering about at 40?
oh Mel, now I won't be able to sleep...
