I thought it might be funny to start a new series where we could interact more. I’ll ask you a daily question that you can answer in the comment section. Attention: There will be surprise random prizes for best answers.
1. What is your dream job? Are you doing it? If not, why?
Clinical Psychologist – Not doing it because I’m a hypocrite who can’t take her own advice! 🙂

Oh dear, if you really love it you can always go back and try. Even if you’re 40. You deserve it. As a teacher and a student I know that teachers can very well help ruin students’ lives, in many ways. I had a college professor who would pick on me because I was a working student and couldn’t make it to every class, but would still have good grades. He would try to humiliate me in front of the class and say my grades weren’t real because I wasn’t a real student, because I missed so many classes.

It’s a toss-up between being a writer and a therapist. I’ve done freelance writing, but haven’t had much success with putting a book together yet. Working on it. As far as being a therapist goes, I feel too old to go back to school, and even if I weren’t older, I’d still be hesitant because of wanting to be there for the kids.

I like thought of being writer but do not feel have novel in me. Would not mind being paid to write travel or theatre reviews but it is hard to get into it and earn enough as so many bloggers are doing it for free.
