let me play the high school guidance counselor and ask "what would you do with yourself all day if you had a million dollars?"

I don't know.
I've never been asked that question before, although the concept is familiar to me. Basically the idea is that if you have all of your needs taken care of, and your mind isn't worrying about the things you have to do to take care of your family, yourself, etc, so the thing you do to occupy all of that free time will be along the lines of something you would enjoy doing for an occupation.
I know its infuriating (because it kind of angers me thinking about it), but I really have no way of answering that question. That sucks.

maybe your way of approaching this is wrong. do you have to have one single clear vocational path?

not everyone fits a mold, and the ones who don't are clearly more interesting.

hmm...
Yeah I guess people who don't have a single "calling" are more interesting, but they are definitely more miserable, because they seek to be defined by what they do.
This must be a guy thing, i have a huge hang up with my work equalling who I am
