You know not only does this not sound crazy, but I had essentially the same conversation with another friend this week. I know I quit something I was doing (reading tarot regularly) because I wanted to go back to school after my divorce and do something that would make more of a difference. Now that seems idiotic (I was effectively self employed and quit? What was I thinking?!) My friend has been through so many different trainings and degrees I can't keep up with them all. I wonder if it's gendered and generational, this desire to save the world with our work and the constant abandonment of paths that don't seem to get there (fast enough? efficiently enough? sufficiently enough?)
