Sunday, you said you think you are stuck. I once felt that way and received some great advice. Hubby realized that as long as I was in a limited environment (the end of the preschool years for my children), I didn't even know what was possible. He encouraged me to go back to school where I would be in a stimulating environment. It worked!

Many people will tell you that there are many, many jobs "out there" for whatever your field of interest - but they don't come knocking on your door. You have to talk to people, talk to people, and talk to people. For every 10 people you talk to, 9 are deadends - but that 10th one has ideas and leads that send you in many directions. Some of my best leads and ideas came from salesmen and secretaries in professional organizations.

A good friend of mine, English major, loves Shakespeare, worked as a clown for awhile, loved it. She's now the education director in a very large church.
