I did want to say something about that. Well, it doesn't apply to me too
strongly.

I'm the kind of person who changed my major as an undergrad, based on
enjoying what I was studying rather than having a career to go to when I
finished. (I figured...*something* would turn up.)

Just this past year, I quit my job of 18 years, to go to something where my
income is not guaranteed in order to enjoy my life more.

Heck, maybe I'm a man in a woman's body????

Well, my husband does have the better paying job of the two of us, so maybe
that gives me some freedom. And he is very supportive of me.
