It's only natural to think about stuff like that as you get more maturer and wiser. Thats life.
I constantly think about what I will do career wise for next five or ten years. I have a decent job and live comfortably as a family of four. I don't know if I want to stay in the same industry as it requires some travelling. My kids are getting to school age and need constant parenting and other stuff, my wife works full time as well. So doing it alone is tough for anyone even without a regular day job. Anyway, my point is at this stage of my life, my children come first and I will do anything for them. I guess that's life...
V - The path will become clear to you as you get closer. I don't know if this makes any sense. Good luck and be well, my friend.

Financial advice is not what I do, really. I'm a trader. As such, I'm sure I can find a couple of relatives who'll give me a few bucks to play with and I'll be able to (with a reasonable expectation of success) increase the numbers some. But I'd really rather see both - the money and my ability - used for something better than just seeing some numbers on the screen go green or red.
Too bad I'm not a carpenter... or Harrison Ford, for that matter LOL But now, as I find myself on the brink of yet another big change in my life, I am sitting here and wondering who will remain by my side when the dust settles? How fast will I be able to get up, should I get knocked down? I can already see where the blow will come and I can sort of tell where I'll land when I fall from this one... its weird that I'm totally not paranoid right now... maybe wrong - I don't know... anyway, I'm going on about nothing now, so I'll shut up

You know T, you - you and John and Craig - are the kinda dudes that make me regret I never went into service. Some people are real - even though you've never met them in real life. Yet others - you can look right at them and its as if they aren't even there. You are real
I realized at 30 it's family that matters. When u have kids all your selfishness goes right out the window. Watching my son hit his first ball in little league was better than all the house parties and night clubs I've ever been to rolled into one. I no longer ask myself where am I going. I ask myself where are my boys(and soon to be baby girl) going? Haha she had better keep her ass offa the GGW vids

V, if your having a hard time finding your place in your job/career, it might be a good time to start looking into that business you were once considering. Efficient energy is the way of the future. 
It doesn't even need to be something you venture into right away, but I think you're smart enough to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves to you in life.
Also, I think your feelings are normal because I get them often as well. Life's a mystery... it wouldn't be interesting if it wasn't.

hmm, thanks Brother! This is actually quite a good suggestion, and one I haven't thought of lately.
