This is excellent. I am sending this to my 14 year old. I particularly relate to your point about looking at what you do in your spare time. I have constantly said this. You need to watch your children when they have idle time. What are they doing? What do they draw? When I grew up college was not a choice. It was mandatory and so was a career. I have been lucky enough to have a career that allows for my creativity however many people are stuck in ruts and feel it is too late to change.

Find a job that you would do for free and figure the payment you recieve as an added bonus. Has worked wonders for me has also allowed me to build a great nest egg over the years. 22 years at same job and still love going to work.

Excellent article, very good information. I wish I would have pondered these ideas more when I was a high school senior. I wound up majoring in something that wasn't right for me. Now I find myself fighting between searching for something I love to do and paying off massive student loans. We are getting there, but the ride is a little scary. spillingbuckets.blogspot.com
