I get clients constantly that say that they don't want to go back to school & therefore "can't" pursue the career that they're passionate about, & I call BS on them constantly. If you love law, let's say, yet you don't want to go to law school, then how else can you be involved in that world & utilize your skills? I'm convinced there's a way to do it if there's enough brainstorming & out-of-the-box thinking around it. This rocks, Danielle.

And here I am, considering going back to get another graduate degree this year only to "prove" I have credibility in an area. But perhaps I should give it some thought about how to get that "credibility" in a more unconventional way...and have a hell of a lot more fun doing it. Good food for thought... Love it!

I only have my associates degree, and there are times right now that I feel unqualfied for any of the jobs out there. And yes I agree that being eager is charming in your 20's, but once you hit your 40's it does not look so good. I am 44 and I don't think I can do the "eager beaver" bit anymore...lol I read this and realized that I subscribed to that opinion that you need a BS degree to get anywhere in life.

I quit my incredibly comfy job today - to leap headlong into the chaos that is my industry and emerge new before I just become old. If we wait til we are "qualified" we might wait forever. now!

Am I in the wrong industry? Am I surrounding myself with the wrong people? Am I just an introvert? Do I have the wrong attitude? What can I do to right it? I have to admit, I want your enthusiasm; mine has dwindled and I'm rationing it out, afraid I might run out at any moment.
