Missed this one until now. thats a nice story Jen, thanks for sharing. Being happy is the biggest thing. Of course though for copious amounts of money I'll do just about anything 
I've more or less stayed on the same track from elementary. Electronics became my hobby early on, back in early elementary when I got one of those radio shack kits where you build your own circuits. I wanted to be an astronaut like most kids, but I'd be happy as the 'engineer' or the one who designed or built the spacecraft. Through HS and college I stayed on the electronics route, but after the first big telecom crash and getting laid off from my engineering position at Lucent Tech I went off on a few tangents. Settled in with a much more secure position working for the power company. A far cry from my original goals but its good enough and I dont hate it at least. No hands on electronics whatsoever, but I do get to control powerplants on a much larger scale.
