in reply to (OT) What should I do with my life (career advice sought)?

I am an old guy who is taking early retirement at the end of the year.

Currently I work with computerized energy management control systems; I am fortunate to be employed at work I love to do.

My advice is to only work in a field where you can get up in the morning and know that you are going to enjoy your day. You have to WANT to go to work. Consider any other work temporary employement, that you have to do, in order to reach your goals in life.

When you have found your calling, stay the course, until you reach your ideal.
